CVE-2025-62858
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 buffer overflow vulnerability has been reported to affect several QNAP operating system versions. If a remote attacker gains an administrator account, they can then exploit the vulnerability to modify memory or crash processes. We have already fixed the vulnerability in the following versions: QTS 5.2.9.3410 build 20260214 and later QuTS hero h5.2.9.3410 build 20260214 and later QuTS hero h5.3.4.3500 build 20260520 and later QuTS hero h6.0.0.3397 build 20260206 and later
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 QNAP QTS and QuTS hero operating systems allowing a remote attacker who has obtained administrator credentials to modify memory or crash processes. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.5 (MEDIUM) indicating significant but not critical impact.

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 the QNAP OS product typeLog into the QNAP admin console and check System Settings > About, or run 'getsysinfo' via SSH to determine if the system is running QTS or QuTS heroAffected if The system runs either QTS or QuTS hero firmware
-
Check the installed firmware versionNavigate to Control Panel > System > Firmware Update > About in the web interface, or run 'cat /etc/version' via SSH to retrieve the exact firmware build numberAffected if The firmware version matches any of the listed affected builds
-
Compare version against CVE affected listMatch your installed version to the following affected builds - QTS: 5.2.0.2737, 5.2.0.2744, 5.2.0.2782, 5.2.0.2802, 5.2.0.2823, 5.2.0.2851, 5.2.0.2860, 5.2.1.2930, 5.2.2.2950, 5.2.3.3006, 5.2.4.3070, 5.2.4.3079 | QuTS hero: h5.2.0.2737, h5.2.0.2782, h5.2.0.2789, h5.2.0.2802, h5.2.0.2823, h5.2.0.2851, h5.2.0.2860, h5.2.1.2929, h5.2.1.2940, h5.2.2.2952, h5.2.3.3006, h5.2.4.3070Affected if The installed version exactly matches one of the versions in the affected list
-
Verify administrative access controlsReview administrator accounts in Control Panel > Security > Users, check for any unauthorized admin accounts or unexpected privilege escalations, and audit recent admin login activity from the Audit LogAffected if Any unauthorized administrator accounts exist or unexpected admin access has occurred
The system is affected if it runs QTS or QuTS hero firmware matching any of the specific build numbers listed in the CVE, and an attacker has already obtained administrative credentials.

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 · scopedApply available firmware updates (QTS 5.2.9.3410 build 20260214, QuTS hero h5.2.9.3410 build 20260214, h5.3.4.3500 build 20260520, or h6.0.0.3397 build 20260206) to affected devices. Additionally, enforce strict administrative credential controls and monitor for unauthorized admin account creation as the vulnerability requires admin-level access.
QTS 5.2.9.3410 build 20260214 or later; QuTS hero h5.2.9.3410 build 20260214 or later; QuTS hero h5.3.4.3500 build 20260520 or later; or QuTS hero h6.0.0.3399 build 20260206 or later (select based on product type)
- Identify the currently installed QTS or QuTS hero version via the QNAP admin interface (System Administration > Firmware Update)
- Determine the appropriate upgrade path based on current version and product type (QTS vs QuTS hero)
- Back up all critical data and configurations before performing the upgrade
- Access the QNAP admin interface and navigate to Control Panel > System Administration > Firmware Update
- Select "Check for Update" to download and install the appropriate fixed version: QTS 5.2.9.3410 (build 20260214 or later), QuTS hero h5.2.9.3410 (build 20260214 or later), QuTS hero h5.3.4.3500 (build 20260520 or later), or QuTS hero h6.0.0.3397 (build 20260206 or later)
- Verify the firmware update completes successfully and the system runs the fixed version
