Description
A malicious actor in Wi-Fi range of the affected product could leverage a vulnerability in the airMAX Wireless Protocol to achieve a remote code execution (RCE) within the affected product.


Affected Products:
UBB-XG (Version 1.2.2 and earlier)
UDB-Pro/UDB-Pro-Sector (Version 1.4.1 and earlier)
UBB (Version 3.1.5 and earlier)

Mitigation:
Update your UBB-XG to Version 1.2.3 or later.
Update your UDB-Pro/UDB-Pro-Sector to Version 1.4.2 or later.
Update your UBB to Version 3.1.7 or later.
Published: 2026-01-08
Score: 8.8 High
EPSS: < 1% Very Low
KEV: No
Impact: Remote Code Execution
Action: Immediate Patch
AI Analysis

Impact

Attacks from within Wi‑Fi coverage can exploit a flaw in the airMAX Wireless Protocol, allowing a malicious actor to inject commands that are executed with device privileges. The weakness, a path‑to‑command injection (CWE‑77), opens the possibility for full control over the device, enabling data exfiltration, network disruption, or use as a pivot for further attacks.

Affected Systems

Ubiquiti Inc’s UBB‑XG, UBB, and UDB‑Pro/UDB‑Pro‑Sector devices are affected. Firmware versions up to UBB‑XG 1.2.2, UDB‑Pro/UDB‑Pro‑Sector 1.4.1, and UBB 3.1.5 are vulnerable. Applying any later firmware (UBB‑XG 1.2.3+, UDB‑Pro/UDB‑Pro‑Sector 1.4.2+, UBB 3.1.7+) removes the flaw.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability scores a CVSS of 8.8, indicating high severity, while the EPSS score of less than 1% suggests low current exploitation likelihood. Because the flaw is triggered by malicious traffic over the airMAX protocol, an attacker must be within wireless range and able to craft protocol packets. The risk is mitigated if the device is isolated from the external network or configured to minimize exposure.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade UBB‑XG firmware to version 1.2.3 or later.
  • Upgrade UDB‑Pro/UDB‑Pro‑Sector firmware to version 1.4.2 or later.
  • Upgrade UBB firmware to version 3.1.7 or later.
  • Place the devices behind a firewall that restricts outbound access and blocks unsolicited traffic.
  • Segment the Wi‑Fi network and restrict which clients can communicate with the devices, using VLANs or MAC filtering.
