CVE-2024-47271: Insufficiently protected credentials vulnerability in IPSpeaker component in Synology Surveillance Station...
Insufficiently protected credentials vulnerability in IPSpeaker component in Synology Surveillance Station before 9.2.2-11575 and 9.2.2-9575 allows remote authenticated users with administrator privileges to obtain sensitive information via unspecified vectors.
Security readout for executives and security teams
Plain-English summary
This vulnerability affects Synology Surveillance Station’s IPSpeaker component. An attacker already holding administrator access could remotely obtain sensitive credential-related information. The issue is not a broad unauthenticated compromise path, but it can increase business impact if an admin account is abused or shared.
Executive priority
Treat as a scheduled remediation with elevated attention for internet-exposed or heavily delegated admin environments. The main risk is credential disclosure after admin compromise, not initial system takeover.
Technical view
CVE-2024-47271 is a CWE-522 insufficiently protected credentials issue in Surveillance Station before 9.2.2-11575 and 9.2.2-9575. CVSS 3.1 is 4.9: network reachable, low complexity, high privileges required, no user interaction, high confidentiality impact, no integrity or availability impact.
Likely exposure
Exposure is limited to organizations running Synology Surveillance Station versions older than the fixed releases, especially where administrator accounts are broadly assigned, externally reachable, reused, or weakly monitored.
Exploitation context
The sources describe remote exploitation by authenticated users with administrator privileges through unspecified vectors. The CVE is not listed as CISA KEV, and the provided sources do not claim active exploitation or public exploit availability.
Researcher notes
The public description is intentionally sparse: affected component, privilege requirement, confidentiality impact, and fixed-before versions are known, but vectors and credential material details are unspecified. Avoid assuming unauthenticated reachability, broader Synology products, or active exploitation without additional evidence.
Mitigation direction
Upgrade Surveillance Station to the vendor-fixed release for the installed branch.
Review Synology’s advisory for branch-specific upgrade guidance.
Restrict Surveillance Station administrator access to trusted personnel only.
Remove unnecessary administrator accounts and shared admin credentials.
Limit administrative access paths using network controls where practical.
Validation and detection
Inventory Synology Surveillance Station deployments and record installed versions.
Confirm systems are at 9.2.2-11575, 9.2.2-9575, or later as applicable.
Review administrator account assignments for unnecessary high privileges.
Check recent administrator access logs for unexpected remote activity.
Verify IPSpeaker-related configuration exists only where operationally required.

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.
