CVE-2025-34029Known exploitationPublic exploitNetwork attack vector

Root command execution via sysCmd parameter

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 commands as root. The /goform/formSysCmd handler passes the sysCmd form value directly to a system command interface without neutralizing shell input. Valid HTTP Basic credentials are required; successful requests grant full control of the embedded device.
