Authenticated command execution via unsanitized POST parameters
Published May 24, 2026 · Updated May 24, 2026
Command injection in Edimax BR-6675nD 1.12 allows remote authenticated users to execute system commands through a crafted POST request. The formWlanMP handler passes attacker-controlled wireless-test parameters, including ateFunc, into a system() command without neutralizing shell syntax. Access to the management interface and valid administrator credentials are required; successful exploitation runs commands with the router service's privileges.
