Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Multiple Improper Input Validation vulnerabilities in UniFi Connect EV Station Lite may allow a Command Injection by a malicious actor with network access to the UniFi Connect EV Station Lite. Affected Products: UniFi Connect EV Station Lite (Version 1.5.1 and earlier) Mitigation: Update UniFi Connect EV Station Lite to Version 1.5.2 or later

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · high confidence

The UniFi Connect EV Station Lite contains multiple improper input validation vulnerabilities in its web interface that allow authenticated or unauthenticated attackers with network access to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands on the underlying Linux system. These command injection flaws stem from insufficient sanitization of user-supplied input fields before passing them to system shell commands.

MitigationUpdate UniFi Connect EV Station Lite firmware to version 1.5.2 or later to patch the command injection vulnerabilities. Network segmentation and restricting access to the device management interface should be implemented as additional compensating controls.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.

dbcve checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Confirm the device model is UniFi Connect EV Station Lite
    Inspect the physical device label or check the UniFi Controller/management interface to verify the exact hardware model
    Affected if The device is not a UniFi Connect EV Station Lite model
  2. Determine the installed firmware version
    Access the UniFi management interface or use the UniFi Controller to check the current firmware version of the EV Station Lite device
    Affected if The firmware version is 1.5.1 or earlier (versions prior to the 1.5.2 patch)
  3. Verify the UniFi Connect web interface is enabled
    Check if the web-based management interface for the EV Station Lite is accessible on the network (typically ports 80/443 or the UniFi Controller ports)
    Affected if The web management interface is enabled and network-accessible (the vulnerability is in the web interface input validation)
  4. Assess network exposure of the management service
    Determine if the EV Station Lite management interface is exposed to untrusted networks or the internet, or if it accepts connections from unauthenticated sources
    Affected if The interface is reachable from untrusted network segments or unauthenticated actors can reach it

A user is affected if they are running UniFi Connect EV Station Lite firmware version 1.5.1 or earlier with the web management interface network-accessible

Mitigation available No clean upgrade yet — mitigate in the meantime
Mitigation

Update UniFi Connect EV Station Lite firmware to version 1.5.2 or later to patch the command injection vulnerabilities. Network segmentation and restricting access to the device management interface should be implemented as additional compensating controls.

Recommended fix High confidence

Version 1.5.2 or later

  1. Access the UniFi Connect controller or web interface managing the EV Station Lite device
  2. Navigate to the device settings or management section for UniFi Connect EV Station Lite
  3. Verify the current firmware/software version is 1.5.1 or earlier
  4. Locate the firmware/software update option within the device settings
  5. Update the UniFi Connect EV Station Lite to version 1.5.2 or later
  6. Confirm the update was successful and verify the new version number
