Description
A format string vulnerability was found in the Internal Backup on the ADM. The vulnerability occurs because user-controlled task input may be included in an error response and processed through an unsafe format string operation. An authenticated attacker can exploit this issue to disclose memory information or cause denial of service of the affected CGI process.
Affected products and versions include: from ADM 4.1.0 through ADM 4.3.3.RUN1 as well as from ADM 5.0.0 through ADM 5.1.3.RI81.

AI Analysis

Impact

A format string vulnerability exists in the Internal Backup component of the ADM. User‑controlled task input can be included in an error response and processed through an unsafe format string operation. An attacker who authenticates to the system can exploit this flaw to read memory contents or to crash the CGI process, resulting in information disclosure or denial of service.

Affected Systems

ASUSTOR ADM firmware versions 4.1.0 through 4.3.3.RUN1 and 5.0.0 through 5.1.3.RI81 are affected.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 7.1 indicates a moderate to high severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% shows a very low likelihood of exploitation in the wild. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers must be authenticated to access the Internal Backup feature; the flaw allows them to disclose sensitive memory data or crash the CGI process, thereby compromising confidentiality or availability.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the ADM firmware to the latest release that contains the fix for the format string vulnerability.
  • Restrict the Internal Backup feature to only essential users and enforce least‑privilege access to reduce exposure.
  • Revise internal error handling so that user‑supplied input is not processed by an unsafe format string operation, applying secure formatting techniques or escaping mechanisms.
