Exploitation Conditions

Requires network reachability to an affected UniFi gateway device (Dream Machines, Dream Routers, Dream Wall, Cloud Gateways, Enterprise Firewalls, Express, Express 7, and other UniFi gateways) and the ability to send crafted input to the vulnerable service. No authentication and no user interaction are needed (PR:N/UI:N). Limiting factors: the attacker must be able to reach the exposed vulnerable interface/service - if the affected parser is only listening on LAN or management interfaces rather than the WAN, an internet-based attacker cannot reach it without a foothold; impact is confined to availability (device crash/DoS), with no code execution or data access.

Impact

The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw whose sole impact is availability - a device-level Denial of Service via CWE-125 out-of-bounds read. The 7.5 base score is driven entirely by A:H; there is no confidentiality or integrity impact, so despite the 'Information Disclosure' tag this is not a data-exposure issue. No EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no public exploit code are present in the provided data, so this is 'no public exploit identified at time of analysis' rather than active exploitation. Real-world priority is moderate: exploitation is easy in principle (unauthenticated network reach, low complexity) but the payoff is limited to crashing/rebooting the gateway rather than code execution or data theft. The main risk consideration is that the affected products are edge/gateway devices, so a crash can disrupt an entire network segment. Missing signals to verify with the vendor: exact fixed firmware versions, whether the vulnerable parser is exposed on the WAN or only LAN/management interfaces, and whether repeated exploitation causes persistent outage versus a self-recovering restart.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with network reachability to a UniFi gateway (e.g., on an exposed service interface) sends a crafted packet or request that triggers an out-of-bounds read in a device service. The malformed input causes the process or device to crash, taking the gateway offline and disrupting network connectivity for everything behind it. No authentication or user interaction is required, but no public proof-of-concept is identified in the available data.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 22, 2026

Denial of service in UniFi gateway devices (Dream Machines, Dream Routers, Dream Wall, Cloud Gateways, Enterprise Firewalls, Express, Express 7, and other UniFi gateways) can be triggered by an unauthenticated network attacker who sends crafted input to a vulnerable interface, causing an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) that crashes the device. The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H) confirms the flaw is network-reachable, low-complexity, and requires no authentication or user interaction, but impact is limited to availability with no confidentiality or integrity loss. Exploitation requires the attacker to reach the exposed vulnerable service; if the affected parser listens only on LAN or management interfaces rather than the WAN, an internet-based attacker would need a foothold. No public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

Apply the firmware updates specified in Ubiquiti Security Advisory Bulletin 069 (https://community.ui.com/releases/Security-Advisory-Bulletin-069-069/07e367a7-edec-4d85-a058-f97e5ce9ac9c) to all affected UniFi gateway devices. Because no exact fixed version is provided in the input data, verify the advisory for the minimum patched firmware release before upgrading. If immediate patching is not possible, reduce exposure by ensuring the vulnerable service is not reachable from untrusted networks: restrict WAN access to the device's management interface, block inbound traffic to the affected service on the WAN, and limit LAN/management access to trusted hosts. These compensating controls may reduce manageability and are not a substitute for the vendor fix. Monitor device logs for unexpected crashes or reboots as a detection measure. No public exploit code has been identified, but the flaw is network-reachable and low-complexity, so timely patching is advised.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The root cause is an out-of-bounds read (CWE-125) in the firmware of multiple UniFi gateway product families. An OOB read occurs when software reads memory beyond an allocated buffer, typically while parsing packet or protocol data; in this case it leads to a device crash and availability impact rather than code execution or data access. The CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms network reachability and no authentication requirement, but the assessed exploitation conditions note that the attacker must be able to reach the vulnerable interface - if the parser is bound only to LAN or management interfaces, WAN-based exploitation is not possible without an internal foothold. CPE entries identify affected product lines as Dream Machines, Dream Routers, Dream Wall, Cloud Gateways, Enterprise Firewalls, Express, Express 7, and other UniFi gateways, all with unspecified versions (:*). Although supplied tags include Buffer Overflow and Information Disclosure, the CVE description and CWE-125 classification combined with the assessed CVSS impact (C:N/I:N/A:H) indicate the practical effect is a denial of service; any memory disclosure potential is theoretical and not assessed.

DescriptionCVE.org

A malicious actor with access to the network could exploit an Out-of-bounds Read vulnerability found in certain UniFi gateway devices to execute a Denial of Service (DoS) attack on the device.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

An unpatched denial-of-service flaw affects the UniFi gateway appliances that many organizations rely on as the network edge for branch offices, retail sites, and small campuses - Dream Machines, Dream Routers, Dream Wall, Cloud Gateways, Enterprise Firewalls, and Express models. A single crafted network request requiring no credentials can crash the device, cutting off all internet and inter-site connectivity for every user and service behind it until the unit is manually restarted. Because the defect is in a core network appliance rather than an end-user system, leadership should treat it as a site-wide availability risk with operational and revenue consequences, even though no data theft or tampering is possible and no public exploit code or active exploitation has been identified at time of analysis.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict the vulnerable interface to trusted management networks or VPN-only access; block internet-sourced traffic to gateway management/parser ports at the upstream firewall; segment management planes from untrusted networks; enable gateway reboot/availability monitoring with immediate alerting; maintain an out-of-band or on-site recovery procedure for manual power-cycling; and configure redundant WAN or failover paths so a single device crash does not fully isolate a site.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
