Security Summary

CVE-2024-53700 is a command injection vulnerability (CWE-77, CWE-78) affecting QHora devices running QuRouter firmware versions prior to 2.4.6.028. Published on 2025-03-07, it carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.2 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating a high-severity issue that enables attackers to execute arbitrary commands.

Remote attackers who have already gained administrator access can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction. Successful exploitation grants high-impact privileges, allowing full compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability on the targeted QHora device.

QNAP's security advisory (QSA-25-07) confirms the vulnerability has been fixed in QuRouter 2.4.6.028 and later versions. Administrators should immediately update affected QHora devices to mitigate the risk, as detailed at https://www.qnap.com/en/security-advisory/qsa-25-07.
