CVE-2024-48420 describes a buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-120) in the Edimax AC1200 Wi-Fi 5 Dual-Band Router BR-6476AC firmware version 1.06, specifically via the /goform/getWifiBasic endpoint. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without authentication (attack vector: adjacent network) and requires low attack complexity with no user interaction. Successful exploitation could lead to full compromise of the device, impacting confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available, and no known exploits are reported in the wild.

An attacker on the adjacent network can exploit this buffer overflow to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service on the affected router. This compromises the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device and potentially the network it serves.

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until a patch is available, restrict network access to the affected endpoint and monitor for unusual activity. Avoid exposing the device to untrusted networks.
