Unauthenticated firewall bypass via IPv6 PPPoE mismatch
Published Mar 20, 2026 · Updated Mar 20, 2026
Firewall bypass in QNAP QuRouter 2.6.x before 2.6.3.009 allows network-adjacent attackers to evade IPv6 rules on QHora-322 routers. The ip6_wanifset firewall implementation fails to match IPv6 firewall rules on PPPoE connections, allowing prohibited traffic to pass. No authentication is required, and successful bypass can be chained with other flaws to execute arbitrary code as root.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
