Technical details

A classic buffer overflow (CWE-120) exists in the AdminCenter component of Synology BeeStation Manager (BSM) and BeeStation OS. The vulnerability is caused by a buffer copy operation that does not validate the size of the input, leading to memory corruption. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this flaw over the network without any user interaction. Successful exploitation allows for arbitrary code execution with high privileges on the underlying operating system. This vulnerability was identified during the Pwn2Own 2025 competition and is resolved in version 1.3.2-65648 and later.
