CVE-2026-9361Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Authenticated command execution via submit-url injection

Published May 24, 2026 · Updated May 24, 2026

Command injection in Edimax EW-7438RPn 1.12 allows remote authenticated users to execute operating system commands via a POST request. The formAccept handler at /goform/formAccep processes the attacker-controlled submit-url value without neutralizing command metacharacters. Low-privileged management access is required, and successful exploitation can read or alter data and interrupt service.
