CVE-2026-9459 Details
Description
A security flaw has been discovered in Edimax EW-7438RPn 1.31. This affects the function formConnectionSetting of the file /goform/formConnectionSetting. Performing a manipulation of the argument max_Conn/timeOut results in stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability has been identified in the Edimax EW-7438RPn range extender, specifically in version 1.31. The issue arises in the 'formConnectionSetting' function within the 'webs' binary, where the 'max_Conn' and 'timeOut' parameters are not properly validated. This lack of input sanitization allows remote attackers to manipulate these arguments, leading to a buffer overflow that can be exploited to execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed and could be used in attacks.
