CVE-2026-10127
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedA weakness has been identified in Edimax BR-6478AC 1.23. This affects the function formStaDrvSetup of the file /goform/formStaDrvSetup of the component POST Request Handler. This manipulation of the argument rootAPmac causes command injection. The attack may be initiated remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · moderate confidenceThe Edimax BR-6478AC v1.23 wireless router has a command injection vulnerability in its web interface POST handler. The formStaDrvSetup function in /goform/formStaDrvSetup fails to sanitize the rootAPmac parameter before passing it to a system call, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via crafted HTTP POST requests.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify device modelAccess router web interface or check device label to confirm model is Edimax BR-6478ACAffected if Device model is Edimax BR-6478AC
-
Check firmware versionNavigate to router admin panel (typically 192.168.0.1) and locate firmware version in System Status or Firmware Upgrade section; or check via telnet/SSH if enabledAffected if Firmware version is 1.23
-
Verify web interface accessibilityAttempt to access http://[router-ip]/goform/formStaDrvSetup via HTTP POST request; check if the endpoint respondsAffected if Web interface is reachable and the /goform/formStaDrvSetup endpoint exists and accepts requests
-
Confirm wireless station feature is enabledCheck router wireless settings for client/station mode (StaDrv) configuration; this function handles wireless client driver setupAffected if Wireless client/station functionality is enabled in router settings
User is affected if they have an Edimax BR-6478AC router running firmware version 1.23 with the web interface accessible and wireless station/client feature enabled, as the rootAPmac parameter in /goform/formStaDrvSetup can be exploited for command injection.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply any vendor-supplied firmware update for BR-6478AC v1.23; if unavailable, consider network segmentation to restrict access to the router's web management interface or disable the affected functionality.
