CVE-2026-9462 Details
Description
A vulnerability was detected in Edimax EW-7438RPn 1.31. Affected by this vulnerability is the function formWpsProxyEnable of the file /goform/formWpsProxyEnable. The manipulation of the argument submit-url results in stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. 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 'formWpsProxyEnable' function, where the 'submit-url' parameter is not properly validated before being processed. This oversight allows remote attackers to manipulate the input, leading to a buffer overflow by overwriting the function's return address. The exploitation of this vulnerability causes the device to crash and fail to provide services correctly.
