An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the Edimax EW-7438RPn Mini firmware version 1.13 and prior via the syscmd.asp form handler. The /goform/formSysCmd endpoint exposes a system command interface through the sysCmd parameter. A remote authenticated attacker can submit arbitrary shell commands directly, resulting in command execution as the root user.
The product constructs all or part of an OS command using externally-influenced input from an upstream component, but it does not neutralize or incorrectly neutralizes special elements that could modify the intended OS command when it is sent to a downstream component.
