AI Analysis

Impact

Based on the description, it is inferred that an improper access control flaw in Ubiquiti UniFi OS devices allows an attacker who can reach the local network to change system settings without authorization. The vulnerability, classified as CWE‑284, may enable unauthorized modification of configuration, compromising device integrity, availability, and potentially exposing the broader network.

Affected Systems

All UniFi OS devices from Ubiquiti, including EFG, ENVR, ENVR‑Core, Express 7, UCG‑Fiber, UCG‑Industrial, UCG‑Max, UCG‑Ultra, UCK, UCK‑Enterprise, UCKP, UDM, UDM‑Beast, UDM‑Pro, UDM‑Pro‑Max, UDM‑SE, UDR, UDR‑5G, UDR7, UDW, UNAS‑2, UNAS‑4, UNAS‑Pro, UNAS‑Pro‑4, UNAS‑Pro‑8, UNVR, UNVR‑G2, UNVR‑G2‑Pro, UNVR‑Instant, UNVR‑Pro, and UniFi OS Server.

Risk and Exploitability

The flaw carries a CVSS score of 10, indicating maximum impact. Based on the description, it is inferred that an attacker with basic network access to any affected device can exploit the access control lapse without additional credentials. EPSS data is not available, and the issue is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the high severity and lack of prerequisite conditions suggest a substantial risk to any network hosting these devices.
