CVE-2024-29206Network attack vector

Authenticated command execution via exposed ADB-enablement method

Published May 7, 2024 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Improper access control in eight Ubiquiti UniFi device lines allows remote authenticated users to enable ADB through the device API. On EV Station, the exposed setDebugPortEnabled method activates the debug port and grants command execution in the adb shell. Vendor scoring requires high API privileges; Ubiquiti has not disclosed the corresponding code locus for the other seven device lines.
