QNAP has warned its customers earlier this week that some of its NAS devices with non-default configurations are vulnerable to attacks that would exploit a three-year-old critical PHP vulnerability allowing RCE

A vulnerability has been reported to affect PHP versions 7.1.x below 7.1.33, 7.2.x below 7.2.24, and 7.3.x below 7.3.11.
