Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A security vulnerability has been detected in Edimax EW-7438RPn 1.31. Affected is the function formRadius of the file /goform/formRadius. The manipulation of the argument submit-url leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in the Edimax EW-7438RPn Wi-Fi range extender (firmware 1.31) allows remote authenticated attackers to corrupt memory by sending an oversized submit-url parameter to the formRadius handler at /goform/formRadius. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the vendor did not respond to coordinated disclosure attempts, leaving the device without a confirmed fix. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reachability to the device's HTTP management interface (TCP port 80 by default) and low-privileged authentication to the web UI (CVSS PR:L), with the attacker sending a crafted POST to the /goform/formRadius endpoint containing an oversized submit-url parameter. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | Signals are mixed. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who has obtained low-privilege web UI credentials - via default passwords, phishing, or a foothold on the LAN - sends a crafted POST to /goform/formRadius with an oversized submit-url parameter, overflowing a stack buffer in the formRadius handler. Using the publicly available PoC at github.com/wudipjq/my_vuln, they crash the management daemon and, with embedded-device exploitation techniques, can pivot to arbitrary code execution as root on the extender, enabling traffic interception or use of the device as a persistent network foothold. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, as Edimax did not respond to the coordinated disclosure. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
