Testing Methodology

Validate this detection against 3 adversary techniques from Atomic Red Team. Each test below lists the behaviour to exercise and the telemetry you should expect to see. Executable commands and cleanup steps are available with Pro.

  1. Test 1CVE-2026-34910 Path Traversal Probe Against UniFi OS API

    Expected signal: HTTP requests with path traversal sequences ('../', '%2f') in URL paths to port 443 should appear in web proxy logs, firewall logs, and IDS/IPS alerts

  2. Test 2CVE-2026-34910 Command Injection Parameter Fuzzing

    Expected signal: HTTP GET requests containing command injection strings (cmd=, command=, exec(), eval()) in query parameters to port 8443 visible in network logs

  3. Test 3CVE-2026-34910 Authenticated API Manipulation with Malformed Input

    Expected signal: POST/PUT requests with SQL injection and command injection strings in JSON body fields to UniFi OS API endpoints; authentication attempts with malformed username fields
