CVE-2025-54158
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 · uneditedMissing authentication for critical function vulnerability in BeeDrive in Synology BeeDrive for desktop before 1.4.2-13960 allows local users to execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors.
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 · high confidenceSynology BeeDrive desktop application before version 1.4.2-13960 lacks authentication checks for a critical function, allowing any local user on the system to execute arbitrary code by leveraging this missing authentication layer.

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.
-
Check if Synology BeeDrive is installedLook for the BeeDrive application on the system - typically found in Program Files or Application Folders on Windows, or /Applications on macOS. Check for processes named 'BeeDrive' or related executables in Task Manager or system process lists.Affected if BeeDrive is present on the system
-
Identify the installed BeeDrive versionRight-click the BeeDrive executable, select Properties, and check the Version tab. Alternatively, open BeeDrive and navigate to Help > About to view the version number.Affected if The version shown is earlier than 1.4.2-13960
-
Verify the BeeDrive service or background process is runningCheck running processes for BeeDrive-related services (often runs as a background service). On Windows, use Task Manager or run 'services.msc' to check for BeeDrive services. On macOS, check Activity Monitor.Affected if The BeeDrive service or background process is actively running
-
Confirm the vulnerability conditionCross-reference the identified version against the affected range: any version before 1.4.2-13960 is vulnerable. No further exploitation testing should be performed.Affected if The installed version is < 1.4.2-13960 AND the service is running, meaning the missing authentication check can be exploited by any local user
If Synology BeeDrive is installed with a version lower than 1.4.2-13960 and the application service is running, the system is affected by CVE-2025-54158.
