Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm Media Streaming add-on is installed
    Access QNAP QTS Desktop > App Center > My Apps, or run 'qpkg -l | grep -i media' via SSH to list installed packages. Look for 'Media Streaming' or similar package name.
    Affected if The Media Streaming add-on package is not present in the installed packages list.
  2. Locate the Media Streaming package version
    In QTS App Center, click on Media Streaming and view the version information. Alternatively, via SSH run 'qpkg -s MediaStreaming' or check '/etc/config/qpkg.conf' for the MediaStreaming entry and read the version field.
    Affected if Unable to retrieve version information for the Media Streaming add-on.
  3. Compare installed version against vulnerable range
    Compare the retrieved version number to the affected range: 500.1.1.0 through 500.1.1.5. Versions 500.1.1.0, 500.1.1.1, 500.1.1.2, 500.1.1.3, 500.1.1.4, and 500.1.1.5 are all vulnerable.
    Affected if Installed version is 500.1.1.0 through 500.1.1.5 inclusive.
  4. Check user access to Media Streaming
    Verify if any user accounts exist on the NAS that have access to the Media Streaming add-on. Go to Control Panel > Applications > Media Streaming and review enabled users. Also check if the service is running via '/etc/init.d/QMediaStreaming.sh status'.
    Affected if The Media Streaming service is running and user accounts are enabled to access it.
  5. Assess network exposure
    Check if the QNAP admin interface (ports 8080, 443) is accessible from untrusted networks. Review Access Control settings in Control Panel > System > Security. The vulnerability requires local network access.
    Affected if The QNAP web interface is reachable from beyond the local network without VPN or firewall restrictions.

User is affected if Media Streaming add-on version is between 500.1.1.0 and 500.1.1.5 inclusive, the add-on is installed and accessible, and the network allows local attackers to reach the service.
