CVE-2026-9294 — Edimax BR-6428NS POST Request formWanTcpipSetup buffer overflow

A vulnerability was identified in Edimax BR-6428NS 1.10. The impacted element is the function formWanTcpipSetup of the file /goform/formWanTcpipSetup of the component POST Request Handler. Such manipulation of the argument pppUserName leads to buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Low

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.

How the score was calculated

EPSS 0.8% (30-day exploitation probability)+8
Technical severity (high)+6
CISA SSVC: exploitation "poc"+5

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Not confirmed

Not in CISA KEV — an absence of record, not proof it is unexploited.
