DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability has been found in Edimax BR-6675nD 1.12. Impacted is the function formWanTcpipSetup of the file /goform/formWanTcpipSetup of the component POST Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument pppUserName leads to buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

AnalysisAI

Buffer overflow in the Edimax BR-6675nD 1.12 wireless router's web management interface allows remote attackers with low-level credentials to corrupt memory via a crafted pppUserName parameter sent to the /goform/formWanTcpipSetup endpoint. Publicly available exploit code exists (disclosed via VulDB and a Notion writeup), and SSVC rates the technical impact as total, though EPSS remains very low at 0.04%. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The attacker must be able to reach the router's HTTP administration interface and authenticate with at least a low-privilege account (CVSS PR:L), so practical exploitation requires either (a) the device having WAN-side remote management enabled and the attacker holding or guessing valid credentials - including widely-known defaults - or (b) a position on the LAN with management-network access. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) scores 7.4 and indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring low privileges, with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the device itself (no scope change). … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker who has obtained or guessed low-privilege web-UI credentials (e.g., default factory credentials still in place, or harvested via phishing) reaches the router's management interface - directly over the internet if remote administration is enabled, or pivoting from a compromised LAN host - and submits a POST to /goform/formWanTcpipSetup with an oversized pppUserName value. The overflow corrupts memory in the embedded HTTP daemon, enabling code execution as the device's web service (typically root on these routers) and full device takeover suitable for DNS hijacking, traffic interception, or botnet recruitment. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - Edimax did not respond to coordinated disclosure, so a fixed firmware version cannot be cited. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Inventory all Edimax BR-6675nD routers across the organization and document their network location and management interface access points. …
