Vulnerability overview/description:
-----------------------------------
1) Hardcoded cryptographic keys
A certificate including its private key is embedded in the firmware of several
Ubiquiti Networks products. The certificate is used for HTTPS (default server
certificate for web based management).

Impersonation, man-in-the-middle or passive decryption attacks are possible.
These attacks allow an attacker to gain access to sensitive information like
admin credentials and use them in further attacks.

Furthermore searching for the certificate fingerprint in data from internet-wide
scans is a low-cost way of finding the IPs of specific products/product groups and
allows an attacker to exploit vulnerabilities at scale.

2) Remote management enabled by default
The remote management interface is enabled by default. This allows attackers
to exploit vulnerabilities in the device firmware as well as weak credentials
set by the user.

Further information can also be found in our blog post:
