EDIMAX BR-6428nS V3 1.15 is vulnerable to Command Injection. An authenticated attacker with access to the network can submit crafted input to the WLAN configuration functionality. Due to insufficient input validation, the attacker is able to execute arbitrary system commands on the device.
AnalysisAI
Command injection in EDIMAX BR-6428nS V3 wireless router firmware 1.15 allows authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary system commands via crafted input to WLAN configuration interface. The vulnerability requires low-privilege network authentication but no user interaction, enabling complete device compromise including credential theft, traffic interception, and pivot attacks into connected networks. EPSS score of 0.17% suggests low probability of mass exploitation, though a proof-of-concept is publicly available on GitHub, lowering the barrier for targeted attacks against exposed management interfaces.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability affects the WLAN configuration module in EDIMAX BR-6428nS V3 router firmware version 1.15. The root cause is CWE-77 (Command Injection), where the device fails to properly sanitize user-supplied input before passing it to system shell commands. When processing WLAN configuration parameters, the firmware likely concatenates user input directly into shell commands without validation, allowing shell metacharacters to break out of intended command structure. This is a common vulnerability class in embedded network devices where web interfaces invoke system utilities through shell wrappers. The CPE data from NVD is incomplete (showing 'n/a'), but the CVE description and vendor reference clearly identify the specific product model and firmware version affected.
RemediationAI
EDIMAX has not released public vendor security advisories or confirmed patched firmware versions at the time of analysis based on available references. Users should immediately check the EDIMAX support website (http://edimax.com) for firmware updates newer than version 1.15 and apply them if available. As interim compensating controls with specific trade-offs: (1) Disable remote administration features and restrict management interface access to trusted local networks only via firewall rules - this prevents internet-based exploitation but requires physical or VPN access for legitimate administration; (2) Change default administrative credentials to strong unique passwords - reduces but does not eliminate risk if attackers have network access; (3) Implement network segmentation to isolate the router's management VLAN from production networks - contains post-exploitation lateral movement but adds configuration complexity; (4) Monitor router logs for unusual WLAN configuration changes or command execution patterns - provides detection not prevention and requires log forwarding infrastructure. Organizations with critical security requirements should consider replacing affected devices with alternative routers that receive active security support, as this is an end-of-life consumer product with uncertain vendor support commitment.
