Ubiquiti Networks EdgeOS version 1.9.1.1 and prior suffer from an Improper Privilege Management vulnerability due to the lack of protection of the file system leading to sensitive information being exposed. An attacker with access to an operator (read-only) account could escalate privileges to admin (root) access in the system.

Weakness

The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
