High-severity remote file read/write and DoS in Synology DSM, a widely deployed NAS OS used across enterprises and SMBs; impact and CVSS 9.8 warrant broad IT distribution.
CVE-2026-13639
Insufficient entropy in Synology DSM login enables remote file read/write and DoS.
Is CVE-2026-13639 being exploited?

How severe is CVE-2026-13639?
CVE-2026-13639 is rated Critical with a CVSS score of 9.8. Severity describes how bad exploitation would be, not how likely it is: pair it with exploitation evidence before deciding what to patch first.
Is there a patch for CVE-2026-13639?
