Ubiquiti AirOS Command Injection Vulnerability

What it is

Certain Ubiquiti devices contain a command injection vulnerability via a GET request to stainfo.cgi.

VulnCheck tracked exploitation 1037 days before CISA's KEV listing. VulnCheck's broader catalog of in-the-wild exploitation evidence picked this up before it landed on CISA's formal list. Per-CVE fact about this entry; not a population claim about lead time in general.

Who's affected

Affects anyone running Ubiquiti UniFi networking gear (access points, switches, security gateways, NVRs). The gear carries internal network traffic and often hosts video surveillance — exploitation can expose network traffic or grant management access to the network itself.

What to do

Apply updates per vendor instructions.

If you don't have someone in-house to verify the patch deployed across every endpoint — or you're not sure whether you're affected — that's exactly the kind of triage we do. Book a free 20-minute triage call.

CISA due date

Federal deadline: May 6, 2022. Federal agencies must complete the required action by this date. For private SMBs the deadline is advisory — but treat it as a strong recommendation, especially if you handle regulated data (HIPAA, GLBA, ABA model rules).

EPSS

EPSS score: 34.6% — higher than 98% of all scored CVEs.

EPSS estimates the probability of exploitation activity in the next 30 days. Every entry on this site is already confirmed exploited, so read it as relative urgency among the things you still have open, not as permission to wait.

Score dated 2026-08-12, from the FIRST.org Exploit Prediction Scoring System.
