CISA has confirmed active exploitation of four critical flaws in Ubiquiti UniFi OS and Lantronix EDS5000 devices, adding them to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog with a June 26 deadline for federal agencies. Three UniFi OS bugs (CVE-2026-34908, CVE-2026-34909, CVE-2026-34910), each rated 10.0, can be chained for unauthenticated remote code execution and root; attackers were seen creating rogue admin accounts. The Lantronix flaw (CVE-2025-67038) is an unauthenticated root command injection in the EDS5000 serial console server. Ubiquiti patched UniFi OS Server in version 5.0.8, and Lantronix in firmware 2.2.0.0R1. Compromised network appliances let attackers pivot deep into internal networks.
Researchers at Bishop Fox have shown that three maximum-severity flaws Ubiquiti patched in May can be chained into a single attack that hands an unauthenticated attacker root access to UniFi OS Server with one crafted web request. Two flaws (CVE-2026-34908 and CVE-2026-34909) bypass the login gateway by abusing how the server reads encoded web addresses; the third (CVE-2026-34910) injects commands into the package-update feature, which runs with passwordless sudo, making escalation to root trivial. The flaws hit version 5.0.6 and earlier across widely used gear like UDM, UCG, and UNVR appliances. Bishop Fox released a free script to check for exposure.
Ubiquiti has shipped patches for five UniFi OS vulnerabilities, three of which are CVSS-maximum and exploitable by remote unauthenticated attackers. CVE-2026-34908 is an improper access control that lets attackers make unauthorized changes; CVE-2026-34909 is a path traversal that reaches an underlying system account; CVE-2026-34910 is an unauthenticated command injection. Two additional flaws (CVE-2026-33000, a critical command injection, and CVE-2026-34911, a high-severity info disclosure) were also patched. All five came through Ubiquiti's HackerOne program. Censys is tracking close to 100,000 internet-exposed UniFi OS endpoints, around 50,000 of them in the US. Ubiquiti products were previously hijacked into the GRU-operated Moobot botnet.
