Edimax confirms this issue: "This product is no longer available in the market and has been discontinued for five years.

However, to ensure the safety of our remaining active users, we acknowledge this report and will take the following mitigation actions: (A) We will issue an official security advisory on our support website. (B) We will strongly advise users to disable the FTP service on this device to mitigate the reported risk, by which the product will still work for common use. (C) We will recommend users upgrade to newer, supported models." This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
A path traversal vulnerability has been identified in the Edimax BR-6208AC router running firmware version 1.02. The issue resides in the FTP daemon service, specifically within the handle_retr function, which improperly validates user-supplied file paths. This flaw allows authenticated attackers to read arbitrary files from the device's filesystem, potentially exposing sensitive information such as configuration files, passwords, and system details. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely, and a public exploit is available.
Users are advised to disable the FTP service on the Edimax BR-6208AC router to mitigate the risks associated with this vulnerability. For those seeking to upgrade, newer, supported models are recommended.
