How the Exploit Works
The exploit works by taking advantage of the missing authentication for a critical function in the UniFi Connect EV Station Pro. A malicious actor with physical or adjacent access can send a specific unauthorized command to the device that initiates a factory reset. This bypasses the need for authentication, allowing the attacker to reset the device to its factory settings. This could lead to a potential system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
While the exact method of exploitation may vary, here is a conceptual example of a command that could be used:
$ command reset-factory UniFi-Connect-EV-Station-ProIn this scenario, the “command reset-factory” is a hypothetical command-line instruction that when executed, triggers a factory reset on the targeted device. Please note that this is a simplified representation of how the vulnerability might be exploited and actual exploitation could involve a more complex sequence of commands.
Mitigation
Users are advised to update their UniFi Connect EV Station Pro to Version 1.5.27 or later, which contains a patch for this vulnerability. In the event that immediate patching is not possible, using a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) may serve as a temporary mitigation measure. These tools can help detect and block attempts to exploit this vulnerability. However, these should be considered only temporary solutions, and the recommended patch should be applied as soon as feasible.
