DescriptionCVE.org

A weakness has been identified in Edimax EW-7438RPn 1.31. The affected element is the function formWlanMP of the file /goform/formWlanMP of the component Content-Type Handler. Executing a manipulation of the argument ateFunc/ateGain/ateTxCount/ateChan/ateRate/ateMacID/e2pTxPower1/e2pTxPower2/e2pTxPower3/e2pTxPower4/e2pTxPower5/e2pTxPower6/e2pTxPower7/e2pTx2Power1/e2pTx2Power2/e2pTx2Power3/e2pTx2Power4/e2pTx2Power5/e2pTx2Power6/e2pTx2Power7/ateTxFreqOffset/ateMode/ateBW/ateAntenna/e2pTxFreqOffset/e2pTxPwDeltaB/e2pTxPwDeltaG/e2pTxPwDeltaMix/e2pTxPwDeltaN/readE2P can lead to os command injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

AnalysisAI

OS command injection in Edimax EW-7438RPn 1.31 allows a low-privileged, remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the device by manipulating any of approximately 29 parameters passed to the formWlanMP function via the /goform/formWlanMP endpoint. The vulnerable parameters - including ateFunc, ateGain, ateTxCount, and e2pTxPower series - are characteristic of ATE (Automatic Test Equipment) manufacturing-mode calibration parameters left accessible in the production firmware. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Authenticate to router web interface
Delivery
Send crafted POST to /goform/formWlanMP
Exploit
Inject OS command into ATE parameter (e.g., ateFunc)
Execution
Device executes injected command as root
Impact
Full device compromise and LAN pivot

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation The CVSS 4.0 vector specifies PR:L (low privileges required), meaning the attacker must first authenticate to the device web management interface with at least a low-privileged account. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment This vulnerability presents a notable discrepancy between its CVSS 4.0 score (2.1) and its actual operational severity. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An authenticated attacker - or an insider on the local network who has obtained the router's default or weak credentials - submits a crafted HTTP POST request to http://[device-ip]/goform/formWlanMP, injecting an OS command such as a reverse shell payload into a parameter like ateFunc. The device's CGI handler passes the unsanitized value to a system() or similar call, executing the injected command as root on the embedded Linux firmware. …
Remediation No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Threat intelligence, references, and detailed analysis are available after sign-in.
