A vulnerability was found in Edimax BR-6478AC V2 1.23. This affects the function setWAN of the file /goform/setWAN of the component POST Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument pppUserName/pptpUserName/L2TPUserName results in command injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
The product constructs all or part of a command, data structure, or record using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify how it is parsed or interpreted when it is sent to a downstream component.
