Technical details

A command injection vulnerability exists in the Edimax BR-6428NS router version 1.10 within the POST request handler for '/goform/formWlanM'. The issue stems from improper neutralization of special elements (CWE-77/CWE-74) in several parameters, including 'ateFunc', 'ateChan', and 'readE2P', which are passed to a system-level function. A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this by sending a specially crafted POST request to the affected endpoint. Successful exploitation allows for arbitrary command execution on the underlying operating system. As of the advisory date, the vendor has not responded to the disclosure, and no patch is available.
