Edimax EW-7438RPn-v3 Mini 1.27 contains a remote code execution vulnerability that allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands through the /goform/mp endpoint. Attackers can exploit the vulnerability by sending crafted POST requests with command injection payloads to download and execute malicious scripts on the device.
A command injection vulnerability (CWE-78) exists in the unauthenticated /goform/mp endpoint. The attacker sends a crafted POST request containing a payload with injected system commands. The device processes the input without proper validation and sanitization, passing it directly to the system command interpreter. This allows malicious scripts to be downloaded and executed on the device.
An unauthorized remote attacker can execute arbitrary system commands on the network device, leading to complete takeover of control, ability to install malicious software, and potential use of the device as an entry point to the internal network.
Apply patches available from the manufacturer according to the references. As an immediate workaround, it is recommended to isolate the device from public network access, restrict access to the management interface only to trusted hosts, and monitor network traffic directed to the /goform/mp endpoint.
