The advisory:
https://www.sec-consult.com/fxdata/seccons/prod/temedia/advisories_txt/20170316-0_Ubiquiti_Networks_authenticated_command_injection_v10.txt
The most concerning part? I quote:
Vendor contact timeline:
------------------------
2016-11-22: Contacting vendor via HackerOne
2016-11-22: Vendor marks it as duplicate to: #143447
2016-11-23: Asking the vendor for a patch.
2016-11-25: Vendor responds that #143447 should be fixed for next stable
release.
2016-11-25: Asking for an estimated time frame for a fix of the
vulnerability.
2016-11-25: Vendor can not give a precise date.
2017-01-10: Asking the vendor for a patch and defined release of the
advisory for 2017-01-16 (concerning the SEC Consult
disclosure policy). Shifted the deadline to 2017-01-30
due to Christmas holidays; No answer.
2017-01-17: Asked for an update.
2017-01-17: Vendor excuses for the delay and responds that they got a
similar report but our PoC does not work.
2017-01-18: Explained PoC again
2017-01-19: Vendor responds that they received a similar report and
assumed a duplication. They state that our PoC never worked
and did not make any sense.
2017-01-20: Uploaded a video which shows a live command injection at an
up-to-date (v6.0) device and posted an assumed reason why
it's possible to exploit
2017-01-21: Vendor responds that they were able to reproduce it now. They
also posted the real cause.
2017-01-24: Asking whether the vulnerability is a duplicate to #143447.
2017-01-24: Vendor responds that it is no duplicate and that this
issue will be fixed as soon as possible.
2017-02-03: Asking for a status update; No answer.
2017-02-21: Asking for a status update; No answer.
2017-03-01: Informing the vendor that the release of the advisory is set to
2017-03-16; No answer.
2017-03-16: Public advisory release
I don't think that is a very good response, and makes me concerned about
any other undisclosed security flaws.
