Technical details

A command injection vulnerability exists in the Edimax BR-6675nD router version 1.12 within the POST request handler for WPS configuration. The flaw is located in the 'formWpsStart' function of the '/goform/formWpsStart' endpoint. Specifically, the 'pinCode' argument is not properly sanitized before being passed to a system shell, allowing an authenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands. While the vendor was notified, no patch has been released, and public exploit code is currently available. The attack requires network reachability to the router's management interface and low-level authentication.
