Technical details
An OS command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) exists in the Edimax EW-7478APC firmware version 1.04. The flaw is located within the 'formStaDrvSetup' function of the '/goform/formStaDrvSetup' component, which handles POST requests. Specifically, the 'rootAPmac' argument is not properly sanitized before being passed to a system shell. A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this by sending a specially crafted POST request to execute arbitrary operating system commands. As of the disclosure date, the vendor has not responded to reports, and no patch is currently available.
