UniFi OS Server: Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences
CVE-2026-77550 is a critical-severity improper neutralization of CRLF sequences vulnerability in UniFi OS Server from Ubiquiti, with a CVSS 3.1 base score of 10.0 out of 10. It can be exploited remotely over the network by an unauthenticated attacker, without any action from a user. The record lists version 5.1.37 as the first without the flaw, so updating UniFi OS Server to that release or later removes the exposure. There is no confirmed exploitation so far. EPSS estimates a 0.8% chance of exploitation within 30 days, higher than 57% of scored CVEs.
Critical severity: a successful attack would have severe impact.
What to do
- Update UniFi OS Server to 5.1.37 or a later version.
- Update Cloud Keys to 5.1.31 or a later version.
- Update Network Video Recorders to 5.1.31 or a later version.
- Read the advisory on community.ui.com for workarounds and exact fixed builds.
- Until you can update, restrict network access to the affected service so it is not reachable from untrusted networks.

Official description
A malicious actor with access to the network could exploit an Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences vulnerability found in certain devices running UniFi OS to bypass authentication to such UniFi OS devices or instances.
Source: the CVE record as published by its numbering authority, via NVD and CVE.org.
The underlying weakness: Improper Neutralization of CRLF Sequences
The product uses CRLF (carriage return line feeds) as a special element, e.g. to separate lines or records, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes CRLF sequences from inputs.
How developers prevent this class of flaw
- Appropriately filter or quote CRLF sequences in user-controlled input.
