CVE-2024-48419Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated root command execution via diagnostic handlers

Published Jan 27, 2025 · Updated Jul 5, 2026

Command injection in Edimax BR-6476AC firmware 1.06 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary shell commands as root. The /bin/goahead diagnostic handlers accept injected shell commands, though the disclosure omits the affected parameters and construction path. Access to the web interface is required; absent anti-CSRF protection also lets context-dependent attackers induce root-level execution through a crafted request.
