Authenticated root command execution via mp.asp shell metacharacters

Published Jun 20, 2025 · Updated May 14, 2026

OS command injection in Edimax EW-7438RPn Mini firmware 1.13 and earlier allows remote authenticated users to execute root commands. The mp.asp handler passes the /goform/mp command parameter to a root shell without neutralizing shell metacharacters. Access to the management interface and valid credentials are required; successful requests grant full control of the appliance.
