Severity by source
AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C/C:H/I:H/A:H
Network-reachable console with a required low-privilege account (PR:L) and no user interaction; broken authorization yields full device compromise across a privilege boundary, so S:C and C/I/A:H.
Primary rating from Vendor (Ubiquiti).

A malicious actor with access to the network and low privileges could exploit an Improper Access Control vulnerability found in certain devices running UniFi OS to escalate privileges within such UniFi OS devices or instances.

AnalysisAI
Privilege escalation in Ubiquiti UniFi OS devices allows a network-adjacent attacker holding a low-privileged account to elevate to higher privileges on the affected device or instance due to an improper access control flaw. The issue spans Ubiquiti's core managed platforms - UniFi OS Server, Cloud Keys, Dream Machines/Routers, Cloud Gateways, NVR/Enterprise NVR, Enterprise NAS, and Enterprise Firewall/Fortress Gateway - and carries a critical CVSS 9.9 with a changed scope. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires the attacker to already hold a low-privileged, authenticated account on the target UniFi OS device or instance (CVSS PR:L) and network access to its management interface (AV:N); no user interaction and no special non-default feature toggle is called out in the description, so default-configured devices with any low-tier account are exposed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals align toward genuine high priority: the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:C, C:H/I:H/A:H) describes a remotely reachable, low-complexity flaw needing only a low-privileged account and no user interaction, with a scope change indicating impact beyond the initially authorized boundary - hence the 9.9 rating. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained a low-privileged UniFi OS account - for example a limited staff operator login, a guest-tier management account, or reused/leaked credentials - connects to the device's web console or API over the network and invokes functionality that should be gated behind an administrator role. Because the access control check is improperly enforced, the request succeeds and the attacker gains elevated privileges over the device, potentially taking full control of the gateway, NVR, or UniFi OS Server. … |
| Remediation | Patch available per vendor advisory - upgrade UniFi OS and the affected application/firmware on all listed devices to the fixed builds published in Ubiquiti Security Advisory Bulletin 067 (https://community.ui.com/releases/Security-Advisory-Bulletin-067/fc4a3488-7c43-4628-8bab-f715e96dbfc9); exact fixed version numbers are not in the provided data and must be taken from that bulletin. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours, inventory all Ubiquiti UniFi OS deployments and identify which systems are network-exposed and which accounts hold low-privileged access across servers, Cloud Keys, Dream Machines, Cloud Gateways, NVR systems, Enterprise NAS, and Enterprise Firewall or Fortress Gateway appliances. …
