Documentation-based security assessment: Synology DiskStation DS418. Reviewed 2026-10-25. Documentation-based assessment of a defined DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 10 local-NAS profile. Native local users are used, with password-only DSM login. HTTP management and an NFS AUTH_SYS share are enabled on the LAN. Supported internal SATA SSDs, using the model-required disk holders where specified, hold the assessed unencrypted data volume and shared folder. Auto Block is enabled at 5 failed attempts within 5 minutes. The password policy requires at least 12 characters, upper- and lower-case letters and a digit; temporary administrator-assigned passwords must be replaced at the next sign-in. The standard physical reset behaviour is retained. These are the explicitly selected conditions of this document assessment, not a claim about factory defaults or an inspected physical unit. Ratings map documented capabilities and the stated configuration to WikiIoT choices. Rare is a qualitative assessment of documented bounded exposure/history, not a measured frequency. Prior attacks is explicitly platform-level history; the sources do not identify each selected model as a confirmed victim, and some campaigns predate individual model releases. An enabled plaintext path is rated No encryption. Storage covers user data on internal SATA SSD flash, without inferring the state of every boot component. Optional capabilities are not treated as enabled unless the assessment configuration states so. Historical CVEs do not imply that the selected patched firmware remains vulnerable. Release date: 2017-09-18; United Kingdom announcement. This is the cited announcement date, not a claim of the earliest worldwide retail availability. Historical vulnerability examples: CVE-2024-10441; CVE-2024-50629; CVE-2024-10445. Affected scope: DSM 7.2.2 before 7.2.2-72806 Update 1 (see advisory for other branches). Fix and assessment scope: DSM 7.2.2-72806 Update 1 or later fixes the listed issues; this assessment uses Update 10. No physical device was tested. These are documented configuration choices and qualitative rating judgments. Preserve this scope and the comments with the selected values.
