CVE-2024-7616

Authenticated command execution via unneutralized host argument

Published Aug 8, 2024 · Updated Aug 9, 2024

Command injection in Edimax IC-6220DC 3.06 and IC-5150W 3.06 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands via the host argument. The ipcam_cgi binary's cgiFormString function incorporates the attacker-controlled host argument into a command without neutralizing command separators. Access must originate from an adjacent network and use low-privileged authentication; executed commands can read, alter, or interrupt device operations.
