Detection Guidance

This vulnerability involves cleartext transmission of sensitive information in the Export Key functionality of Synology Surveillance Station before version 9.2.2-11575 and 9.2.2-9575. Detection would require monitoring network traffic for unencrypted sensitive data exchanges related to the Export Key feature.

Since the vulnerability requires remote authenticated users with administrator privileges, verifying the version of Synology Surveillance Station installed on your system is a primary step.

• Check the installed version of Synology Surveillance Station to confirm if it is older than 9.2.2-11575 or 9.2.2-9575.
• Use network monitoring tools (e.g., Wireshark or tcpdump) to capture and analyze traffic for any cleartext transmission of sensitive information related to the Export Key functionality.
• Example command to check version via SSH on Synology device: `synopkg version SurveillanceStation`
• Example command to capture network traffic on the relevant interface: `tcpdump -i eth0 -w capture.pcap` and then analyze with Wireshark for unencrypted sensitive data.
