## Technical details

A command injection vulnerability (CWE-77) exists in the Edimax EW-7438RPn firmware version 1.12. The flaw is located within the 'formAccept' function of the '/goform/formAccep' endpoint, which serves as a POST request handler. An attacker can exploit this by manipulating the 'submit-url' argument to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands. While the attack can be initiated remotely over the network, it requires low-level authentication (PR:L). A public exploit has been disclosed, and the vendor has reportedly not responded to the disclosure, suggesting no official patch is currently available.
