CVE-2026-81584: Synology DiskStation Manager SQL injection in User API

CVE-2026-81584 · Severity: high · CVSS 8.1 · Published 2026-11-12

Synology DiskStation Manager is a network-attached storage operating system that manages file storage and sharing. An attacker who controls a compromised LDAP or Active Directory server can exploit a SQL injection vulnerability to read sensitive files, modify system data, or disrupt service. This requires the DSM to be configured to authenticate users against that server.

Technologies: Synology DiskStation Manager. Vendors: Synology.

Technical details

An improper neutralization of special elements in SQL commands (CWE-89) in the User API allows an attacker controlling a compromised LDAP or Active Directory server to inject SQL queries. The attack requires the DSM to authenticate users via the compromised directory server, but no direct authentication to DSM itself. Successful exploitation enables arbitrary file read/write and denial-of-service.
