Ubiquiti has released security updates to patch three maximum severity vulnerabilities in UniFi OS that can be exploited by remote attackers without privileges.

On Thursday, Ubiquiti also patched a second critical command injection flaw (CVE-2026-33000) and a high-severity information disclosure (CVE-2026-34911), both affecting Unifi OS devices. Ubiquiti has yet to disclose whether any of the five vulnerabilities were exploited in the wild before disclosure, but shared that they can be exploited in low-complexity attacks and were reported through its HackerOne bug bounty program. At the moment, threat intelligence company Censys is tracking nearly 100,...
