The flaw is categorized as an incorrect default permissions issue (CWE-276). During the installation or update process of the software, local users with low privileges can leverage insecure file permissions to read or write arbitrary files on the host filesystem. Furthermore, this vulnerability can be exploited to induce a denial-of-service condition. This issue is particularly relevant to environments where multiple local users share the same workstation, as it provides a pathway for a less-privileged user to impact system integrity or disrupt the installation of authorized security software. Defenders should prioritize updating Synology Assistant to version 7.0.7-50095 or later across all managed endpoints.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"impact\"\u003eImpact\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuccessful exploitation allows a local, low-privileged user to bypass standard access controls to modify or exfiltrate sensitive files. The potential for denial-of-service also poses a risk to system stability during the installation phase. This vulnerability affects any environment where Synology Assistant is deployed, including workstations managed by enterprise IT.\u003c/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 id=\"recommendation\"\u003eRecommendation\u003c/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUpdate Synology Assistant to version 7.0.7-50095 or higher on all workstations immediately to remediate CVE-2026-4793.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAudit endpoint software inventories to identify outdated versions of Synology Assistant that remain installed on sensitive workstations.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRestrict local installation rights for standard users on high-security workstations to prevent the unauthorized execution of installers that may trigger this vulnerability.\u003c/li\u003e\n\u003c/ul\u003e\n","date_modified":"2026-08-03T07:59:43Z","date_published":"2026-08-03T07:59:43Z","id":"https://feed.craftedsignal.io/briefs/2026-08-synology-assistant-permissions/","summary":"Synology Assistant versions prior to 7.0.7-50095 contain a vulnerability allowing local users to perform arbitrary file operations and trigger denial-of-service during the installation process.","title":"Incorrect Default Permissions in Synology Assistant","url":"https://feed.craftedsignal.io/briefs/2026-08-synology-assistant-permissions/"}],"language":"en","title":"CraftedSignal Threat Feed - Synology Assistant","version":"https://jsonfeed.org/version/1.1"}
