Remote code execution via firmware path traversal
Published Apr 13, 2026 · Updated Apr 13, 2026
Path traversal in Ubiquiti UniFi Play PowerAmp and Audio Port firmware allows remote attackers on the Play network to write system files. Ubiquiti has not disclosed the affected firmware component or the path-validation operation that permits traversal outside the intended directory. No credentials or user interaction are required, and attacker-controlled file placement enables code execution on the appliance.
