CVE-2026-54402 is a critical improper input validation vulnerability in Ubiquiti UniFi OS that can lead to command injection on the underlying host device. The issue affects UniFi OS and UniFi OS Server deployments, including multiple UniFi hardware platforms, in versions 5.1.15 and earlier, and is fixed in version 5.1.19. Available reporting indicates the flaw is present in user-facing administrative APIs and can be exploited remotely by an attacker who has network access and only low-privileged authenticated access. No user interaction is required. Successful exploitation allows attacker-controlled input to reach command execution paths on the host system, resulting in arbitrary command execution with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
