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 · unedited
A vulnerability has been found in Edimax EW-7438RPn up to 1.31. Affected is the function formWizSurvey of the file /goform/formWizSurvey of the component webs. The manipulation of the argument ip/mask/gateway leads to os command injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

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 confidence

OS command injection vulnerability in Edimax EW-7438RPn WiFi range extender (versions up to 1.31) allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via unsanitized ip/mask/gateway parameters submitted to the /goform/formWizSurvey web form.

MitigationApply vendor firmware patch if available; otherwise isolate device on restricted network segment or replace device, as the vendor did not respond to the disclosure.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Identify device model
    Access the device web interface or check the device label/documentation to confirm the model is Edimax EW-7438RPn
    Affected if Device model is Edimax EW-7438RPn
  2. Check firmware version
    Log into the device web interface and navigate to the system status or firmware upgrade page to view the installed firmware version
    Affected if Firmware version is unknown or unpatched (no vendor patch is available for this CVE)
  3. Verify web interface accessibility
    Confirm the device web interface at http://[device-ip] is accessible on the local network
    Affected if The web interface is reachable from network segments that are not isolated
  4. Confirm vulnerable endpoint exists
    Attempt to access or analyze the /goform/formWizSurvey endpoint or check if the wizard/survey configuration form is present in the web interface
    Affected if The formWizSurvey function is present and accepts ip/mask/gateway parameters

A user is affected if they operate an Edimax EW-7438RPn device with an accessible web interface where the formWizSurvey function handles ip/mask/gateway parameters without sanitization.
