DescriptionCVE.org

A malicious actor with access to the network and low privileges could exploit an Improper Input Validation vulnerability found in UniFi Protect Application to execute a Command Injection on the host device.

AnalysisAI

Command injection in Ubiquiti's UniFi Protect Application lets a low-privileged, network-adjacent user run arbitrary operating-system commands on the host device (typically a UniFi NVR, Cloud Key, or Dream Machine running the Protect service). The CVSS 3.1 score of 9.9 reflects a scope change: an attacker who already holds a low-privilege application account escapes the application boundary to gain full control of the underlying host. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires network reachability to the UniFi Protect Application interface plus a valid low-privilege Protect account (CVSS PR:L) - it is not an unauthenticated attack; no user interaction is needed (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The signals point to a genuinely high priority. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has obtained a low-privilege UniFi Protect account (for example a limited camera-viewer login, reused credentials, or an insider) sends a crafted request containing shell metacharacters to a Protect application input that is passed into a host command. The malformed input is executed on the underlying UniFi OS host, giving the attacker code execution outside the application sandbox and full control of the NVR, including stored footage and network management. …
Remediation Patch available per vendor advisory: upgrade UniFi Protect to the fixed release identified in Ubiquiti Security Advisory Bulletin 067 (https://community.ui.com/releases/Security-Advisory-Bulletin-067/fc4a3488-7c43-4628-8bab-f715e96dbfc9); the exact fixed version is not included in the provided data, so verify it against that advisory before updating, and enable automatic updates on the appliance where feasible. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify and document all UniFi Protect deployments, note current software versions, restrict network access to Protect management interfaces to authorized administrators only, and implement network isolation for affected devices. …
