CVE-2026-24935
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 third-party NAT traversal module fails to validate SSL/TLS certificates when connecting to the signaling server. While subsequent access to device services requires additional authentication, a Man-in-the-Middle (MitM) attacker can intercept or redirect the NAT tunnel establishment. This could allow an attacker to disrupt service availability or facilitate further targeted attacks by acting as a proxy between the user and the device services. Affected products and versions include: from ADM 4.1.0 through ADM 4.3.3.ROF1 as well as from ADM 5.0.0 through ADM 5.1.1.RCI1.
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 confidenceA third-party NAT traversal module used in Archer Device Manager (ADM) does not validate SSL/TLS certificates when establishing connections to signaling servers. This allows a Man-in-the-Middle attacker to intercept or redirect the NAT tunnel establishment, potentially disrupting service or acting as a proxy for further attacks against device services.

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 installed Asustor Data Master versionAccess the ADM admin interface or check system information page to find the exact firmware/software version numberAffected if The version falls within >= 4.1.0.rhu2 and <= 4.3.3.rof1, OR >= 5.0.0.ra82 and < 5.1.2.re51
-
Verify NAT traversal module is configuredCheck ADM settings for NAT traversal, tunnel, or signaling server configuration options. Look for features related to remote access or device management connectivityAffected if NAT traversal module is enabled and configured to connect to external signaling servers
-
Inspect SSL/TLS certificate validation settingsExamine NAT traversal configuration files or UI settings for any option related to certificate verification, trust validation, or SSL/TLS enforcementAffected if Certificate validation is disabled, set to optional, or explicitly configured to skip verification for NAT tunnel connections
-
Check signaling server connection settingsReview the connection configuration for signaling servers in ADM, noting whether secure connections are enforced or if insecure fallback is allowedAffected if Connections to signaling servers do not require valid SSL/TLS certificates or allow unverified certificates
User is affected if Asustor Data Master version is within the affected ranges AND the NAT traversal module is enabled with SSL/TLS certificate validation disabled or not enforced.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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 · scoped5.1.2.re51
Implement proper SSL/TLS certificate validation in the NAT traversal module, typically through a vendor patch or configuration update to enforce certificate verification before tunnel establishment.
ADM 5.1.2.re51 or later
- 1. Log in to the Asustor ADM web interface
- 2. Navigate to Settings > System > Update & Backup (or similar update section)
- 3. Check for available system updates
- 4. Update to ADM version 5.1.2.re51 or later
