Authenticated command execution via unsanitized src parameter
Published Apr 28, 2023 · Updated Jul 9, 2026
Command injection in EdgeRouter X 2.0.9-hotfix.0 through 2.0.9-hotfix.6 allows remote authenticated users to execute OS commands. The Web Management Interface incorporates the src request value into an OS command, allowing shell metacharacters to introduce an additional command. Administrative web credentials are required; injected commands run on the router, although Ubiquiti disputes treating post-authentication behavior as a vulnerability.
