DescriptionCVE.org

A malicious actor with access to the network could exploit an Improper Access Control vulnerability found in UniFi Connect Application to execute a Command Injection on the host device.

AnalysisAI

Improper access control in Ubiquiti's UniFi Connect Application allows a network-adjacent attacker to bypass authentication and inject arbitrary operating-system commands on the underlying host, yielding full compromise (CVSS 10.0). The flaw chains an access-control weakness (CWE-284) with command injection, so an unauthenticated attacker reachable on the network can execute code with the application's privileges and pivot beyond the app boundary (scope change). No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the issue is not listed in CISA KEV; EPSS data was not provided.

Technical ContextAI

UniFi Connect is Ubiquiti's application platform (Connect Application server) used to manage UniFi Connect signage/EV/display devices and related endpoints, typically deployed as a network-resident service or on UniFi hosting hardware. The root cause is classified as CWE-284 (Improper Access Control): a protected function or API path is reachable without proper authorization, effectively an authentication bypass. That exposed path passes attacker-controlled input into a host command execution context, producing OS command injection. The CPE cpe:2.3:a:ubiquiti_inc:unifi_connect_application:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates the affected component is the application itself across all listed versions, with no lower/upper version bound published in the provided data.

RemediationAI

Upgrade UniFi Connect Application to the fixed release identified in Ubiquiti Security Advisory Bulletin 066 (https://community.ui.com/releases/Security-Advisory-Bulletin-066-066/984eceb3-49c8-4227-942d-671c289b3afc); the advisory confirms a patch is available, though an exact fixed version number is not included in the provided data, so confirm the specific build from the bulletin. Because the vulnerability is a remote unauthenticated authentication bypass, until patching is complete restrict network reachability of the Connect Application management interface - place it behind a firewall or VPN and allow only trusted management subnets, which limits exposure at the cost of remote/off-site administration convenience. Additionally, monitor the host for anomalous child processes spawned by the application (a signature of command injection) and rotate any credentials or keys handled by the service after upgrading, since a scope-changing RCE could have exposed them.
