CVE-2014-2225


Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in Ubiquiti Networks UniFi Controller before 3.2.1 allow remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that (1) create a new admin user via a request to api/add/admin; (2) have unspecified impact via a request to api/add/wlanconf; change the guest (3) password, (4) authentication method, or (5) restricted subnets via a request to api/set/setting/guest_access; (6) block, (7) unblock, or (8) reconnect users by MAC address via a request to api/cmd/stamgr; change the syslog (9) server or (10) port via a request to api/set/setting/rsyslogd; (11) have unspecified impact via a request to api/set/setting/smtp; change the syslog (12) server, (13) port, or (14) authentication settings via a request to api/cmd/cfgmgr; or (15) change the Unifi Controller name via a request to api/set/setting/identity.


Security Impact Summary

This vulnerability carries a HIGH severity rating with a CVSS v3.1 score of 8.8, indicating it can be exploited remotely over the network with relatively low complexity though user interaction is required and does not require pre-existing privileges . The vulnerability impacts confidentiality (data exposure), integrity (unauthorized modifications), and availability (service disruption) for affected systems. Impacting 3 products from ui, from ui, from ui organizations running these solutions should prioritize assessment and patching.

Historical Context

Reported in 2020, this vulnerability emerged during an era marked by increased sophistication in supply chain attacks, cloud infrastructure vulnerabilities, and software-as-a-service (SaaS) security challenges. Security practices during this period emphasized zero-trust architectures, container security, and API protection.

How SecUtils Interprets This CVE

SecUtils normalizes and enriches National Vulnerability Database (NVD) records by standardizing vendor and product identifiers, aggregating vulnerability metadata from both NVD and MITRE sources, and providing structured context for security teams. For ui's affected products, we extract Common Platform Enumeration (CPE) data, Common Weakness Enumeration (CWE) classifications, CVSS severity metrics, and reference data to enable rapid vulnerability prioritization and asset correlation. This record contains no exploit code, proof-of-concept instructions, or attack methodologies—only defensive intelligence necessary for patch management, risk assessment, and security operations.
