succesfull login for admin account from 127.0.0.1

Post by piosk »

my admin accout is disabled but i still can see entries in qnap Access Log stating
that Admin login succesfully logged in from localhost (127.0.0.1) with Administration access
is it bug or maybe i've been infected ?

Keep calm :DD . Such entries from localhost (127.0.0.1) arer usually from a service running at NAS.
If there would be any unknown, foreign IP, then you should investigate. :wink:

BTW: the weird advice to disable the admin account does not protect you in any way from malware!
Hopefully the NAS is not exposed to internet in any way? -> UPnP disabled at router and NAS, no port forwardings!?

Yep I disabled UPnP some time ago, when my Q started behaving badly - restarting , reseting admin passwords every few minutes etc.
I updated device, started using 2fa, disabled admin account and it is stable now I think but still I suspect that something could be left in system
these logs are so ... poor, I demand more information not just that admin logged from local IP
anyway why admin account is used by service (what service) and why it logs to https service ?
