MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Attacker requires network reachability to the UniFi OS management interface of an affected device (UDM, UDR, UCG, UCK, UNVR, UNAS, EFG, or UDW family running vulnerable UniFi OS). No authentication, user interaction, or special configuration is needed per CVSS PR:N/UI:N - the bypass works against default deployments. Exploitation is limited to networks where the management plane is reachable from the attacker's position; deployments that segregate management onto a dedicated VLAN unreachable from client/guest networks materially reduce exposure, and devices not exposed to WAN are not directly attackable from the internet. |
| Impact | Signals are uniformly severe: CVSS 10.0 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N indicates a trivial network-reachable bypass with no user interaction, and S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H indicates full compromise extending beyond the affected component. No EPSS score, KEV listing, or POC indicator was provided in the input, so widespread automated exploitation is not yet evidenced; however, the absence of EPSS/KEV data should not be interpreted as low risk given the trivial attack profile and the large installed base of internet-exposed UniFi controllers. The description states 'access to the network' which is consistent with AV:N but in practice many UniFi management interfaces are reachable only on LAN - defenders should verify whether their controller is exposed to WAN or guest VLANs before assuming worst-case reachability. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker on the same LAN or VLAN as a UniFi OS device (for example via a guest Wi-Fi network sharing the same management subnet, or a compromised IoT device) sends crafted requests to the management interface that bypass access control checks. The attacker then modifies firewall rules, creates an admin account, or alters NVR/NAS configuration to exfiltrate footage or stored data - all without supplying valid credentials. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 22, 2026
Unauthorized system modification on Ubiquiti UniFi OS devices allows network-adjacent attackers to alter device configuration without authentication, affecting a broad range of UniFi gateways, dream machines, NVRs, NAS units, and cloud keys. The maximum CVSS 10.0 score reflects network-reachable, unauthenticated exploitation with scope change and full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact; no public exploit identified at time of analysis, but the authentication bypass nature elevates urgency for any UniFi management plane exposed beyond trusted segments.
RemediationAI
Patch available per vendor advisory - consult Ubiquiti Security Advisory Bulletin 064 at https://community.ui.com/releases/Security-Advisory-Bulletin-064-064/84811c09-4cf4-42ab-bd61-cc994445963b for the exact fixed UniFi OS firmware version for each device model, as the input does not enumerate fix versions. Until firmware can be applied, restrict the UniFi OS management interface (typically TCP 443 and 8443) to a dedicated management VLAN or VPN, and ensure WAN-side management is disabled - note that disabling remote access will break Ubiquiti's UI.com cloud SSO workflow for off-network admins. As a compensating control, place the controller behind a firewall rule that allows only known admin IPs to reach the web UI; this does not prevent lateral movement from a compromised internal host but eliminates external exposure.

Technical ContextAI · show details
UniFi OS is Ubiquiti's unified operating system that runs on the UDM (Dream Machine) line, UDR routers, UCG cloud gateways, UCK/UCKP cloud keys, UNVR network video recorders, UNAS storage appliances, and the EFG/UDW edge platforms. The flaw is classified as CWE-284 (Improper Access Control), meaning authorization checks for privileged system-modifying operations are missing or bypassable. The CVSS scope change (S:C) signals that exploitation crosses a trust boundary - the affected component can influence resources beyond its own security authority, which on a converged network appliance like UniFi OS typically means routing, firewall, VPN, or camera/storage subsystems controlled by the same management plane.

A malicious actor with access to the network could exploit an Improper Access Control vulnerability found in UniFi OS devices to make unauthorized changes to the system.
Articles & Coverage 1
Executive ViewAI
Ubiquiti UniFi OS devices face complete unauthorized system modification through unauthenticated network access, affecting critical network infrastructure components including gateways, NVRs, and cloud management systems across enterprise deployments. This critical flaw (CVSS 10.0) enables attackers to gain full system control without credentials, creating severe risk for any organization managing UniFi infrastructure connected to untrusted networks.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network access to management interfaces via firewall rules and network segmentation-limit to trusted administrative subnets only; (2) Disable remote management features and cloud access if operationally feasible; (3) Implement continuous network monitoring and logging for unauthorized configuration changes; (4) Maintain offline backups of configuration to enable rapid recovery if compromise occurs; (5) Establish daily audit logs review for suspicious activity.
