CVE-2024-14026

Authenticated command execution via undisclosed injection

Published Mar 11, 2026 · Updated Mar 11, 2026

Command injection in QNAP QTS and QuTS hero allows remote authenticated users on the local network to execute arbitrary commands. QNAP has not disclosed the affected component, input field, or operation that passes attacker-controlled data to an operating-system command. Exploitation requires a user account and local-network access; successful exploitation executes commands with the vulnerable service's privileges.
