Any signed-in user can exploit it over the network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-40536 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM). No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40536/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40536/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-40536","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40536/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-40536","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-p44h-mfjw-mpmg"],"analysis":{"component_type":"operating_system","fix_type":"upgrade","impacts":["data_read"],"network_reachable":"yes","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Synology NAS OS","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Authenticated attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in the Audio API to access non-sensitive information on Synology NAS devices.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"synology","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":4.3,"severity":"medium","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-22","name":"Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory"}],"description":"An improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') vulnerability in Audio API in Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) before 7.2.1-69057-10, 7.2.2-72806-7 and 7.3.2-86009-2 allows remote authenticated users to obtain non-sensitive information.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Path traversal in DiskStation Manager (DSM)","id":"CVE-2026-40536","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"Server-side request forgery in DiskStation Manager (DSM)","id":"CVE-2026-40537"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"Path traversal in DiskStation Manager (DSM)","id":"CVE-2026-40535"},"products":["DiskStation Manager (DSM)"],"published":"2026-09-18","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"partial"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-09-18","vendors":["Synology"]},"summary":"Authenticated attackers can exploit a path traversal flaw in the Audio API to access non-sensitive information on Synology NAS devices.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-40536/"}
