Today I found in my logs the following entries:

I'm sure that I'm not alone and that this is not the first time someone tries to compromise a traccar installation.

I'm running traccar (4.12) on a Synology NAS inside a docker container.

Is there a vulnaribility known which was or could have been used?

Is there anything that I could or should check? Any other hint?

That's normal if your server is exposed to the internet. I would recommend closing ports that you don't use.

Thanks for your reply. Only needed ports are open.
Are there any known issues with traccar?

You mean security issues? No, as long as you are using the latest version.
