CVE-2026-9295: Buffer Overflow in Edimax BR-6428NS
CVE-2026-9295 is a high-severity buffer overflow vulnerability in the Edimax BR-6428NS router version 1. 10. It affects the formWirelessTbl function in the POST request handler, specifically via manipulation of the vapurl argument. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely without user interaction. Although the exploit code has been publicly released, there is no known exploit activity in the wild. The vendor has not responded or provided a patch or mitigation guidance as of the publication date.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves a buffer overflow in the formWirelessTbl function of the Edimax BR-6428NS router firmware version 1.10. The flaw is triggered by sending a specially crafted POST request with a manipulated vapurl parameter, leading to memory corruption. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication or user interaction, with a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7 indicating high severity. No official patch or remediation has been announced by Edimax, and the vendor has not responded to disclosure attempts. Exploit code is publicly available, increasing the risk of potential attacks despite no current reports of exploitation in the wild.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this buffer overflow could allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code remotely on the affected device, potentially leading to full compromise of the router. This could result in unauthorized control over network traffic, device configuration, or further pivoting into internal networks. The vulnerability does not require user interaction or privileges, increasing its risk. However, no active exploitation has been observed to date.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Since the vendor has not responded or released a fix, users should consider mitigating exposure by restricting remote access to the device management interface, disabling unnecessary services, or isolating the device in a segmented network until an official patch is available.
