CVE-2025-14187
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA weakness has been identified in UGREEN DH2100+ up to 5.3.0.251125. This affects the function handler_file_backup_create of the file /v1/file/backup/create of the component nas_svr. Executing a manipulation of the argument path can lead to buffer overflow. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. It is recommended to upgrade the affected component.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceBuffer overflow vulnerability in the UGREEN DH2100+ NAS device's nas_svr component. The handler_file_backup_create function in the /v1/file/backup_create endpoint does not properly validate the path argument, allowing remote attackers to overflow a buffer and potentially execute arbitrary code.

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 checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify UGREEN DH2100+ NAS deviceLocate the device on your network and confirm the model number through the device's web interface (usually at 10.10.10.1 or the IP assigned by your DHCP server), device label, or network inventory records.Affected if The device is a UGREEN DH2100+ NAS unit.
-
Check firmware versionLog into the NAS web interface, navigate to System Settings > System Update or About section, and record the installed firmware version number.Affected if The firmware version is lower than 5.3.0.251125.
-
Verify nas_svr service is runningAccess the device via SSH or telnet (if enabled), then run 'ps | grep nas_svr' or check the service status to confirm the nas_svr process is active.Affected if The nas_svr process is running on the device.
-
Confirm API endpoint accessibilitySend a crafted request to the /v1/file/backup_create endpoint using curl or similar tool: curl -X POST http://<device_ip>/v1/file/backup_create -d '{}' and observe the response. Check if authentication is required or if the endpoint is publicly accessible.Affected if The /v1/file/backup_create endpoint is accessible without proper authentication or is exposed to untrusted networks.
-
Inspect for signs of exploitationReview system logs in /var/log/ or through the web interface for unusual entries around the backup_create function, unexpected processes, or new user accounts that may indicate attempted or successful exploitation.Affected if Unexpected log entries, unauthorized user accounts, or unfamiliar processes are present on the device.
You are affected if you own a UGREEN DH2100+ NAS running firmware version lower than 5.3.0.251125 with the nas_svr service active and the /v1/file/backup_create endpoint accessible.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
dbcve · scopedUpgrade the UGREEN DH2100+ firmware to a version beyond 5.3.0.251125 that addresses this vulnerability. If no patched version is available, consider network segmentation and restricting access to the affected API endpoint.
Latest available firmware version for UGREEN DH2100+ (newer than 5.3.0.251125)
- Identify your current UGREEN DH2100+ firmware version in the device settings or administrative interface
- Visit the official UGREEN support or download page to check for available firmware updates
- Download and install the latest available firmware version for the DH2100+ device
- After upgrading, verify that the nas_svr component has been updated and the /v1/file/backup/create endpoint no longer accepts the malicious path manipulation
- Confirm the vulnerability is resolved by testing the specific function handler_file_backup_create with various input patterns
