Synology Patches Critical BeeStation RCE Shown at Pwn2Own

🔒 Synology has released a patch for a critical remote code execution flaw (CVE-2025-12686) in BeeStation OS, following a proof-of-concept exploit shown at Pwn2Own Ireland. The vulnerability, described as a buffer copy without checking input size, can enable arbitrary code execution on impacted NAS devices and has no practical mitigations. Synology advises users to upgrade to BeeStation OS 1.3.2-65648 or later to remediate the issue. The flaw was demonstrated by Synacktiv researchers Tek and anyfun, who earned a $40,000 reward.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Exploited on Day Two of Pwn2Own

🔓 Security researchers earned $792,750 on day two of Pwn2Own Ireland 2025, exploiting 56 unique zero-day vulnerabilities across smartphones, NAS devices, printers, cameras and smart-home gear. A five-bug chain used by Ken Gannon and Dimitrios Valsamaras successfully compromised the Samsung Galaxy S25, earning $50,000 and 5 Master of Pwn points. Several teams also exploited issues in QNAP and Synology NAS models, printers and IoT devices, and vendors now have 90 days to patch before public disclosure.

Researchers Exploit 34 Zero-Days at Pwn2Own Ireland

🔒On the first day of Pwn2Own Ireland 2025, security researchers exploited 34 unique zero-day vulnerabilities and collected $522,500 in cash awards. Team DDOS (Bongeun Koo and Evangelos Daravigkas) chained eight flaws to compromise a QNAP Qhora-322 router via its WAN interface and access a QNAP TS-453E, earning $100,000 and moving into second place on the Master of Pwn leaderboard. The Summoning Team led day one with $102,500 and 11.5 points after multiple successful root exploits. The Zero Day Initiative (ZDI) organized the event and coordinates 90-day responsible disclosure with affected vendors.

PolarEdge Botnet Targets Cisco, ASUS, QNAP Routers

🔐 Cybersecurity researchers have detailed PolarEdge, a TLS-based ELF implant used to conscript Cisco, ASUS, QNAP and Synology routers into a botnet. The backdoor implements an mbedTLS v2.8.0 server with a custom binary protocol, supports a connect-back and interactive debug mode, and stores its obfuscated configuration in the final 512 bytes of the ELF. Operators use anti-analysis techniques, process masquerading and file-moving/deletion routines; a forked watchdog can relaunch the payload if the parent process disappears.
