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).

Executive Summary

This vulnerability is a stack-based buffer overflow found in the Edimax EW-7438RPn device, specifically in the function formLicence within the file /goform/formLicence. It occurs due to improper handling of the argument submit-url, which can be manipulated by an attacker.

The flaw can be exploited remotely, meaning an attacker does not need physical access to the device to initiate the attack.

The exploit for this vulnerability has already been published, increasing the risk of it being used maliciously.

Impact Analysis

Exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow, which may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the affected device.

This can result in unauthorized control over the device, potentially leading to data compromise, disruption of service, or use of the device as a foothold for further attacks within a network.
