CVE-2024-47270: Improper preservation of permissions vulnerability in Archiving Push functionality in Synology Surveillance...
Improper preservation of permissions vulnerability in Archiving Push 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 Synology Surveillance Station issue. An already-authenticated administrator could cause a limited file write through Archiving Push because permissions may not be preserved correctly. The business risk is mainly integrity impact inside systems where Surveillance Station administrators are already trusted or compromised.
Executive priority
Handle in normal patch cadence unless the service is internet-exposed, administrator accounts are weakly controlled, or Archiving Push is business-critical. The issue is real but requires administrator privileges and has limited integrity impact in the published assessment.
Technical view
CVE-2024-47270 is a CWE-281 improper permission preservation flaw in Surveillance Station Archiving Push. A remote authenticated user with administrator privileges may perform limited file write through unspecified vectors. CVSS 3.1 is 2.7 with network access, low complexity, high privileges, no user interaction, and low integrity impact only.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to Synology Surveillance Station deployments running versions before the fixed 9.2.2-11575 and 9.2.2-9575 releases. Risk is higher where administrative accounts are shared, overprivileged, remotely accessible, or weakly protected.
Exploitation context
The provided sources do not report active exploitation, and the CVE is not listed as KEV. Public details do not describe the vectors, so validation should focus on version status, Archiving Push usage, and administrator account control rather than exploit reproduction.
Researcher notes
Key technical details remain unspecified: vectors, writable paths, and exact Archiving Push behavior are not described in the provided sources. The vulnerability should be treated as a permission-preservation flaw requiring admin privileges, not as unauthenticated compromise or broad remote code execution.
Mitigation direction
Upgrade Surveillance Station to Synology fixed versions or later per the advisory.
Limit Surveillance Station administrator access to named, necessary users only.
Require strong authentication and MFA where available for administrator accounts.
Review Archiving Push configuration and disable unused workflows.
Monitor vendor guidance for any updated mitigation details.
Validation and detection
Inventory Synology systems running Surveillance Station.
Confirm installed versions are 9.2.2-11575, 9.2.2-9575, or later as applicable.
Identify deployments using Archiving Push functionality.
Review administrator accounts for shared, stale, or unnecessary access.
Check relevant logs for unexpected file write activity by administrator accounts.

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 Preservation of Permissions
Improper Preservation of Permissions represents a recurring weakness pattern that can create exploitable paths when design, validation, or implementation controls are missing.
