Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires (1) a victim who is an authenticated user with an active logged-in session on the airMAX M device's web management interface, and (2) that victim being lured into loading an attacker-controlled page while that session is active (CVSS UI:R). The CSRF weakness (CWE-352) means the attacker needs no credentials of their own - the device's own request-validation gap is what is abused to carry the command injection. Affected deployments are airMAX M firmware below 6.3.26. Limiting factors: the dependency on active admin authentication plus user interaction means this cannot be exploited unauthenticated against an idle device, and exposure is reduced where the management interface is not reachable and where administrators do not browse untrusted pages during active sessions.

Impact

This is a genuine priority, though a notch below drop-everything emergency. The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw with no attacker privileges but requiring victim interaction, and full compromise impact (C:H/I:H/A:H) consistent with command injection yielding device takeover. The signals are internally consistent: the PR:N is correct for CSRF because the attacker holds no credentials and instead rides the session of an already-authenticated victim, while UI:R correctly captures that the victim must be lured to a malicious page. The counterbalancing signals temper urgency: EPSS is low at 0.38% (32nd percentile), there is no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit identified at time of analysis. The vuln.today decision label is 'this_week' rather than act_now/emergency, matching the picture of a serious but not actively-exploited flaw. The low EPSS alongside the high CVSS is expected and not contradictory here, because successful exploitation depends on social-engineering a logged-in administrator - a real but non-trivial precondition that suppresses mass-scanning exploitation probability. Net: patch within the week as the vendor priority indicates; the impact ceiling is device compromise, but the user-interaction and session-state prerequisites make opportunistic internet-wide exploitation less likely than the raw 8.8 suggests.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker crafts a malicious web page and lures an administrator who is currently logged into the airMAX M device's web interface into visiting it. The page silently issues a forged request to the device that abuses the CSRF weakness to inject and execute an operating-system command, giving the attacker control of the device. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and the attack depends on the victim being authenticated and clicking through to the attacker's page.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

Command injection in Ubiquiti airMAX M devices running firmware below 6.3.26 is reachable through a cross-site request forgery weakness in the device's web management interface, letting an attacker who lures a logged-in administrator to a malicious page run commands on the device with high confidentiality and integrity impact. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 8.8) confirms the attacker needs no credentials of their own, but exploitation depends on a victim holding an active authenticated management session while loading the attacker-controlled page. No CISA KEV listing and no public exploit were identified at time of analysis, and EPSS is low at 0.38% (32nd percentile), making this a genuine priority for this week rather than a drop-everything emergency.

RemediationAI

Ubiquiti has released a fix; upgrade airMAX M firmware to 6.3.26 or later, which is the first version outside the affected range, and verify the running version after the update since these are field-deployed outdoor radios that may need staged rollout across a link. Until every device is updated, reduce the two preconditions the attack depends on: restrict reachability of the web management interface to a dedicated management VLAN or administrative source addresses (side effect: technicians and monitoring tools lose direct access and must route through that path), and require administrators to log out of the airMAX M UI when not actively managing devices and to avoid browsing untrusted pages from the same browser session (side effect: purely operational friction, no functional loss). Vendor guidance should be taken from Security Advisory Bulletin 071 at https://uisp.community.ui.com/releases/Security-Advisory-Bulletin-071/7d4d42cf-09e4-44d3-9c19-649cac8c6af3; the priority label for this issue is this_week.

Technical ContextAI · show details

airMAX M is Ubiquiti's outdoor wireless broadband platform for WISP and point-to-point/point-to-multipoint links, administered through an on-device web management interface. The root cause class is CWE-352 (cross-site request forgery): the management interface does not adequately bind state-changing requests to the authenticated session, so a request crafted by a third-party page is accepted with the victim administrator's privileges. In this case the forged request reaches a command injection sink in the device firmware, upgrading what would otherwise be a session-riding nuisance into arbitrary command execution on the device itself. The CPE record cpe:2.3:a:ubiquiti_inc:airmax_m:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is version-agnostic, while the EUVD affected range narrows exposure to airMAX M firmware 0 through below 6.3.26. The specific endpoint, request parameters and injection point are not described in the available sources, so the exact trigger cannot be reconstructed from this intelligence alone.

DescriptionCVE.org

A malicious actor who lures an authenticated user to a malicious page could exploit a Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability found in airMAX M devices to execute a Command Injection on the device.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Ubiquiti airMAX M wireless infrastructure devices running firmware below 6.3.26 expose a high-severity command injection flaw that an external attacker can trigger by luring an authenticated administrator into visiting a malicious webpage. Because compromise of these devices could hand attackers control of network connectivity and management-plane integrity, leadership should prioritize remediation for any affected wireless estate, especially where administrative browsing overlaps with device management.
