CVE-2017-9552
Status: ModifiedHigh (7.8)—
A design flaw in authentication in Synology Photo Station 6.0-2528 through 6.7.1-3419 allows local users to obtain credentials via cmdline. Synology Photo Station employs the synophoto_dsm_user program to authenticate username and password by "synophoto_dsm_user --auth USERNAME PASSWORD", and local users are able to obtain credentials by sniffing "/proc/*/cmdline".
CVSS
- Version: 3.0
- Vector: CVSS:3.0/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H
- Base score: 7.8
Exploitation probability (EPSS)
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.31%
- Percentile among all scored CVEs: 22
- Score date: 10/5/2026
EPSS (Exploit Prediction Scoring System, FIRST) estimates how likely a vulnerability is to be exploited in the wild within 30 days. It complements CVSS (impact) and CISA KEV (confirmed exploitation).
