Publication date: 2025-12-30

Last updated on: 2026-04-29

Assigner: VulDB

Description

A vulnerability was identified in Edimax BR-6208AC 1.02/1.03. Affected is the function formStaDrvSetup of the file /goform/formStaDrvSetup of the component Web-based Configuration Interface. The manipulation of the argument rootAPmac leads to command injection. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. Edimax confirms this issue: "The product mentioned, EDIMAX BR-6208AC V2, has reached its End of Life (EOL) status. It is no longer supported or maintained by Edimax, and it is no longer available for purchase in the market. Consequently, there will be no further firmware updates or patches for this device. We recommend users upgrade to newer models for better security." This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.

Attack-Flow Graph

Executive Summary

This vulnerability exists in the Edimax BR-6208AC router's web-based configuration interface, specifically in the formStaDrvSetup function. It allows an attacker to manipulate the 'rootAPmac' argument to perform command injection remotely, meaning they can execute arbitrary commands on the device without authorization.

Impact Analysis

The vulnerability can allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary commands on the affected device, potentially leading to unauthorized control, data compromise, or disruption of network services. Since the device is no longer supported or patched, the risk remains unmitigated unless the device is replaced.

Mitigation Strategies

Since the affected Edimax BR-6208AC V2 device has reached its End of Life (EOL) status and no further firmware updates or patches will be provided, the recommended immediate mitigation step is to upgrade to newer, supported models for better security.

Detection Guidance

This vulnerability can be detected by monitoring or testing the /goform/formStaDrvSetup endpoint on Edimax BR-6208AC routers (versions 1.02 and 1.03) for command injection attempts via the rootAPmac parameter. Since the vulnerability involves command injection through this parameter, sending crafted requests with special characters or command payloads to this endpoint and observing unexpected command execution or responses can help detect it. Specific detection commands are not provided in the resources, but typical methods include using curl or similar tools to send HTTP POST requests to the vulnerable URL with payloads in the rootAPmac parameter and checking for command execution effects. For example, a test command might be: curl -X POST "http://<router-ip>/goform/formStaDrvSetup" -d "rootAPmac=;id;" to check if the 'id' command output is reflected or causes a response indicating command execution. However, no explicit detection commands are detailed in the provided resources. [1, 2]
