CVE-2026-54402 is a critical improper input validation vulnerability in UniFi OS that allows a remote attacker with network access and low privileges to trigger command injection on the underlying host device. The flaw stems from insufficient validation or sanitization of attacker-controlled input before it is used in a context that can invoke system commands. Successful exploitation enables execution of arbitrary commands on the host operating environment. Reported affected versions include UniFi OS 5.1.15 and earlier across multiple UniFi OS platforms, with some reporting also indicating exposure on related UniFi OS-based deployments until the fixed release.
