Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable component is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed 'remotely exploitable' and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: Specialized access conditions or extenuating circumstances do not exist. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable component.
Privileges Required: High: The attacker is authorized with (i.e., requires) privileges that provide significant (e.g., administrative) control over the vulnerable component that could affect component-wide settings and files.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without any interaction from any user.
Scope: Unchanged: An exploited vulnerability can only affect resources managed by the same security authority. In this case, the vulnerable component and the impacted component are either the same, or both are managed by the same security authority.
Confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the impacted component.
Integrity: High: There is a total loss of integrity, or a complete loss of protection. For example, the attacker is able to modify any/all files protected by the impacted component. Alternatively, only some files can be modified, but malicious modification would present a direct, serious consequence to the impacted component.
Availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the impacted component.

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 26 Oct 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

European organizations should prioritize updating all affected UniFi Connect devices to the patched versions: EV Station Pro to 1.5.27 or later, Display to 1.13.6 or later, Display Cast to 1.10.3 or later, Display Cast Pro to 1.0.83 or later, and Display Cast Lite to 1.1.3 or later. Beyond patching, organizations should enforce strict access controls and monitoring on the API interfaces to prevent unauthorized or unnecessary privileged access. Implementing network segmentation to isolate these devices from broader enterprise networks can reduce the risk of lateral movement if a device is compromised. Regular auditing of user accounts and API access logs can help detect suspicious activity early. Additionally, disabling ADB functionality by default and restricting its enablement to trusted administrators can mitigate risk. Organizations should also consider integrating these devices into their broader security monitoring and incident response plans to quickly identify and respond to potential exploitation attempts.

Description

An Improper Access Control could allow a malicious actor authenticated in the API of certain UniFi Connect devices to enable Android Debug Bridge (ADB) and make unsupported changes to the system. Affected Products: UniFi Connect EV Station Pro (Version 1.5.18 and earlier) UniFi Connect Display (Version 1.9.324 and earlier) UniFi Connect Display Cast (Version 1.9.301 and earlier) UniFi Connect Display Cast Pro (Version 1.0.78 and earlier) UniFi Connect Display Cast Lite (Version 1.0.3 and earlier) Mitigation: Update UniFi Connect EV Station Pro to Version 1.5.27 or later Update UniFi Connect Display to Version 1.13.6 or later Update UniFi Connect Display Cast to Version 1.10.3 or later Update UniFi Connect Display Cast Pro to Version 1.0.83 or later Update UniFi Connect Display Cast Lite to Version 1.1.3 or later

Impact

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability could be significant, especially for those managing EV charging infrastructure and digital signage using affected UniFi Connect devices. Successful exploitation could allow an attacker with authenticated access to escalate their control over the device, potentially leading to unauthorized system modifications. This could disrupt charging station operations, cause misinformation on displays, or serve as a foothold for lateral movement within the network. While confidentiality is not directly impacted, the integrity of the device and its data is at risk, which could undermine trust in critical infrastructure services. Given the increasing adoption of EV infrastructure across Europe, particularly in countries with strong green energy initiatives, disruption or manipulation of these devices could have operational and reputational consequences. However, the requirement for high privilege authentication limits the attack surface to insiders or compromised accounts, reducing the likelihood of widespread exploitation without prior access.

CWE-863Incorrect Authorization (opens in a new tab)
Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: HighCWE Top 25 (2025): #17OWASP Top 10 A01:2025: Broken Access Control (opens in a new tab)
The product performs an authorization check when an actor attempts to access a resource or perform an action, but it does not correctly perform the check.
Architecture and Design
Divide the product into anonymous, normal, privileged, and administrative areas. Reduce the attack surface by carefully mapping roles with data and functionality. Use role-based access control (RBAC) to enforce the roles at the appropriate boundaries.
Architecture and Design
Ensure that access control checks are performed related to the business logic. These checks may be different than the access control checks that are applied to more generic resources such as files, connections, processes, memory, and database records.
Architecture and Design · Libraries or Frameworks
Use a vetted library or framework that does not allow this weakness to occur or provides constructs that make this weakness easier to avoid.
