CVE-2026-13673: An incorrect permission assignment for critical resource vulnerability in LDAP API in Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) before 7.2.1-69057-
Noroxi assessment
Priority: Monitor (action score 35/100)
- The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
- Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.49% (FIRST EPSS).
- Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. A low-privileged account is enough. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
- Fixed version: Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) 7.2.1-69057-12, 7.2.2-72806-9, 7.3.2-86009-4.
- Mentioned 1 time in Turkish national cyber security advisories (siberguvenlik.gov.tr).
Low priority for now. Upgrade to Synology DiskStation Manager (DSM) 7.2.1-69057-12, 7.2.2-72806-9, 7.3.2-86009-4 or later.

Variant candidates
Same product, same weakness class, within 18 months. If the patch missed the root cause, the sibling bug is here.
No nightly-computed relations.
Chain candidates
An authentication bypass and a privilege-requiring bug in the same product, published close together: combined they may become an unauthenticated path.
