Description
A vulnerability was found in Edimax BR-6208AC 1.32. This vulnerability affects unknown code of the file /goform/formAccept. Performing a manipulation of the argument submit-url results in command injection. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way. This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

AI Analysis

Impact

A command injection flaw exists in the /goform/formAccept web interface of the Edimax BR-6208AC router, caused by insufficient input validation of the submit-url parameter (CWE-74) and leading to command injection (CWE-77). Manipulating the submit-url argument allows an attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the device via a standard HTTP request. This can lead to full device compromise, enabling the attacker to exfiltrate data, install malware, or pivot to other systems on the local network (inferred).

Affected Systems

The flaw affects the Edimax BR-6208AC router running firmware 1.32. The device is no longer supported by the manufacturer, and there is no official patch. Only this version and other unmaintained units are impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 6.9 indicates moderate severity. The EPSS score of 2% indicates a low but non‑zero probability of exploitation, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV. The attack vector is remote via HTTP, and the exploit has been published publicly, meaning an attacker can readily construct a payload. Consequently, the risk of exploitation is non‑negligible and the potential impact could be significant if the device is exposed to the internet.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Replace the device with a supported, patched model from Edimax or another vendor, which removes the command injection (CWE-77) vulnerability.
  • If replacement is not feasible, limit remote access to the /goform/formAccept endpoint or restrict traffic to trusted local IPs to reduce exposure to the command‑injection weakness (CWE-74/CWE-77).
  • Enforce input validation or sanitization on the submit-url parameter—an approach to mitigate the input‑accept weakness (CWE-74) and the resulting command injection (CWE-77).
