CVE-2024-48867Network attack vector

Application-data modification via undisclosed CRLF injection

Published Dec 6, 2024 · Updated Dec 6, 2024

CRLF injection in QNAP QTS and QuTS hero 5.1.x and 5.2.x allows remote attackers to modify application data through crafted input. QNAP identifies improper CRLF neutralization but has not disclosed the affected component, input field, or operation that consumes the untrusted data. Exploitation is network-reachable without privileges, requires passive user interaction under QNAP's assessment, and is limited to application-data confidentiality and integrity effects.
