Authenticated camera modification via insufficient update validation
Published Mar 1, 2025 · Updated Mar 4, 2025
Insufficient update validation in Ubiquiti UniFi Protect Cameras 4.74.88 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to alter camera systems. The firmware-update path insufficiently validates an update before accepting changes; Ubiquiti has not disclosed the exact failed check. Exploitation requires high-privilege authentication and access to an adjacent camera network, with compromise of camera confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
