Impact

Authenticated attackers can read arbitrary system files or data remotely. They need valid user credentials on the QNAP device first.

Fix & remediation

Upgrade Video Station to version 5.8.5 or later through the QNAP App Center; as an interim workaround, stop or disable the Video Station application.
