Ubiquiti EdgeMAX devices before 2.0.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) because *.cache files in /var/r

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 32/100)

  • Public proof-of-concept code exists (GitHub); there is no record of exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 5% (FIRST EPSS); higher than 92.1% of all records.
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. No user action is required. No special conditions are required; it is repeatable.
  • According to the record, no fixed version is available yet.

Low priority for now. Update when a fix is released; follow the vendor's advisory.

Generated automatically from the record's data: CVSS (NVD and CNA), CISA KEV and SSVC, FIRST EPSS, exploit sources, fixed versions. How we calculate it

Ubiquiti EdgeMAX devices before 2.0.3 allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (disk consumption) because *.cache files in /var/run/beaker/container_file/ are created when providing a valid length payload of 249 characters or fewer to the beaker.session.id cookie in a GET header. The attacker can use a long series of unique session IDs.
