CVE-2019-25651 is a cryptographic weakness in Ubiquiti UniFi Network Controller and multiple UniFi device firmware lines that use AES-CBC for device-to-controller communication. Affected versions include UniFi Network Controller prior to 5.10.12, excluding 5.6.42, UAP firmware prior to 4.0.6, UAP-AC, UAP-AC v2, and UAP-AC Outdoor firmware prior to 3.8.17, USW firmware prior to 4.0.6, and USG firmware prior to 4.4.34. The implementation relies on AES-CBC in a manner that introduces cryptographic weaknesses, allowing an attacker who captures sufficient encrypted traffic to recover encryption keys. Once the keys are derived, the attacker can decrypt and manipulate controller-to-device management communications, undermining the trust model between UniFi infrastructure components.
