CVE-2024-47267: Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Archiving P...
Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('Path Traversal') vulnerability in Archiving Pull functionality in Synology Surveillance Station before 9.2.2-11575 and 9.2.2-9575 allows remote authenticated users with administrator privileges to limited file write via unspecified vectors.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This is a low-severity path traversal flaw in Synology Surveillance Station's Archiving Pull functionality. An already-authenticated administrator could cause limited file writes outside the intended path. Business urgency is lower because administrator privileges are required, but affected systems should still be updated because file-write bugs can support broader misuse when combined with other weaknesses.
Executive priority
Treat as a scheduled patch, not an emergency, unless administrator credentials may be exposed or Surveillance Station is internet-facing. Prioritize updating affected systems during the next maintenance window and tightening administrator access.
Technical view
CVE-2024-47267 is CWE-22 in Surveillance Station before 9.2.2-11575 and 9.2.2-9575. CVSS 3.1 is 2.7: network reachable, low complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, unchanged scope, no confidentiality or availability impact, low integrity impact. The public description leaves the exact vector unspecified.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to Synology Surveillance Station deployments running versions before the fixed 9.2.2 release lines, especially where administrator accounts are broadly shared or internet-accessible. The attacker must already authenticate with administrator privileges, so compromise of admin credentials is the main practical prerequisite.
Exploitation context
The source bundle does not show CISA KEV listing or active exploitation evidence. The vulnerability is remotely reachable after administrator authentication, but public sources provided do not describe exploit mechanics, affected configurations beyond Archiving Pull, or weaponized activity.
Researcher notes
The key uncertainty is the unspecified vector. Do not infer broad unauthenticated write capability. Focus validation on version state, Archiving Pull exposure, administrator account controls, and whether any compensating access restrictions reduce practical risk.
Mitigation direction
Upgrade Surveillance Station to Synology's fixed 9.2.2 release for your package line.
Review Synology-SA-24:25 for the correct update path before deployment.
Restrict Surveillance Station administrator access to trusted users and networks.
Audit shared or stale administrator accounts on Surveillance Station.
Monitor for unexpected file-write activity on affected systems.
Validation and detection
Inventory all Synology Surveillance Station instances and record installed versions.
Confirm whether each instance is below 9.2.2-11575 or 9.2.2-9575.
Verify administrator accounts are individually assigned and still required.
Check whether Archiving Pull functionality is used in production.
After updating, confirm the reported version matches Synology's fixed release guidance.

CWE-22: File access and web shell behavior lookup
File traversal and upload weaknesses can lead teams to review file, web shell, execution, and collection telemetry. Open the exact CWE lookup page first, then review the ATT&CK searches from that MITRE weakness context. This is a Glexia lookup hint, not an official ATT&CK mapping.
The CVE wording references file access or upload behavior, so file telemetry and web shell review may help. This is a Glexia inferred lookup path, not an official MITRE, ATT&CK, or CVE Program mapping.
These fields come from the CVE record and ADP containers, not from Glexia's Take. They preserve time-varying source decisions such as CISA SSVC, KEV status, CVSS metrics, and provider references.
We collect every scored CVSS vector available in the official CNA and ADP containers. When more than one version is present, the table keeps the source vectors side by side instead of collapsing them into the highest score.

Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')
Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal') represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
