Technical details
An Improper Access Control vulnerability (CWE-284) exists in the Ubiquiti UniFi Protect Application prior to version 7.1.83.

A remote, unauthenticated attacker with network access to the application can exploit this to bypass security controls. Successful exploitation could allow the attacker to read sensitive information, modify settings, or cause a denial-of-service condition. The issue is resolved in UniFi Protect Application version 7.1.83 and later.
