Exploitability
| CWE ID | Description |
|---|---|
| CWE-119 | The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data. |
| CWE-121 | A stack-based buffer overflow condition is a condition where the buffer being overwritten is allocated on the stack (i.e., is a local variable or, rarely, a parameter to a function). |

AI Powered Q&A
Can you explain this vulnerability to me?
This vulnerability exists in the Edimax EW-7438RPn device, specifically in the function formWpsProxyEnable located in the file /goform/formWpsProxyEnable. It is caused by the manipulation of the argument submit-url, which leads to a stack-based buffer overflow. This type of vulnerability allows an attacker to overwrite parts of the memory stack, potentially enabling remote code execution or other malicious actions.
The attack can be launched remotely, meaning an attacker does not need physical access to the device to exploit this vulnerability. Additionally, the exploit code is publicly available, increasing the risk of exploitation.
How can this vulnerability impact me? :
Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to severe impacts including unauthorized remote code execution, which may allow an attacker to take control of the affected device.
This can result in compromise of device integrity, confidentiality, and availability, potentially allowing attackers to intercept or manipulate network traffic, disrupt network services, or use the device as a foothold for further attacks within a network.
