CWE-787Published: April 17, 2023· Updated: Jun 17, 2026
Official Description
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability was found in the ASUSTOR Data Master (ADM) due to the lack of data size validation. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability to execute arbitrary code. Affected ADM versions include: 4.0.6.REG2, 4.1.0 and below as well as 4.2.0.RE71 and below.
Risk Analysis
ASUSTOR Data Master (ADM) contains a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability due to insufficient data size validation. This flaw allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on the affected device.
No public exploit is currently known, and the vulnerability is not in the CISA KEV catalog.
Upgrade to a version of ADM beyond 4.0.6.REG2, 4.1.0, or 4.2.0.RE71 to ensure proper data size validation.
Technical Analysis
CVE-2023-30770 can be exploited remotely over the network without requiring physical or adjacent access, significantly expanding the attack surface for threat actors.
The vulnerability requires no privileges and no user interaction, making it a prime target for automated exploitation campaigns and worm-like propagation.
A successful exploit results in complete confidentiality breach (data exposure), full integrity compromise (data manipulation), availability disruption (denial of service), with a CVSS base score of 9.8.
From a weakness classification perspective (CWE-787): Out-of-bounds write vulnerabilities can lead to data corruption, crashes, or arbitrary code execution.
