CVE-2026-34909

CRITICAL CISA KEV TTE 18d Pub 22/05 Upd 24/06

Overview

This vulnerability is a Path Traversal flaw (CWE-22) in Ubiquiti UniFi OS Server and related firmware components. The root cause is insufficient validation of user-supplied file path inputs, allowing traversal sequences to access files outside the intended directory scope. The affected components include UniFi OS Server and various UniFi device firmware versions that handle file requests without proper sanitization.

Vulnerability Description

A malicious actor with access to the network could exploit a Path Traversal vulnerability found in UniFi OS devices to access files on the underlying system that could be manipulated to access an underlying account.

Impact

An attacker with network access can exploit this vulnerability without authentication to read sensitive files from the underlying operating system. This unauthorized file access may expose configuration files, credentials, or other sensitive data, potentially allowing further compromise of user accounts or system components. The breach of file system integrity can facilitate lateral movement within the network and escalate privileges, resulting in full system compromise or data exfiltration.

Solution

Ubiquiti released Security Advisory Bulletin 064 addressing this vulnerability. Users should update UniFi OS Server and all affected firmware, including UniFi Cloud Gateway Industrial, Dream Machine, Dream Machine Pro, and Dream Machine Special Edition, to the patched versions specified in the advisory. Detailed patch instructions and version information are available at https://community.ui.com/releases/Security-Advisory-Bulletin-064-064/84811c09-4cf4-42ab-bd61-cc994445963b. Applying these updates is the recommended remediation to eliminate the path traversal issue.
