CVE-2026-10125: Edimax BR-6478AC POST Request formPPPoESetup stack-based overflow

A vulnerability was identified in Edimax BR-6478AC 1.23. Affected by this vulnerability is the function formPPPoESetup of the file /goform/formPPPoESetup of the component POST Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument pppUserName leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.

Security readout for executives and security teams

Plain-English summary

This is a critical memory-safety flaw in Edimax BR-6478AC firmware 1.23. A crafted PPPoE username in the device’s setup request can overflow memory and may allow full device compromise. Public proof-of-concept exploit material is reported, but the source bundle does not show confirmed active exploitation.

Executive priority

Treat this as urgent for any affected router in production or exposed management networks. Prioritize inventory and exposure reduction immediately, then apply vendor remediation when available. Public exploit availability raises practical risk even without confirmed active exploitation evidence.

Technical view

The vulnerable POST handler is /goform/formPPPoESetup, specifically formPPPoESetup handling of pppUserName. The reported bug is a stack-based buffer overflow mapped to CWE-119 and CWE-121. CVSS v2 is 9.0 with network access, low complexity, single authentication, complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact.

Likely exposure

Exposure appears limited to Edimax BR-6478AC devices running firmware 1.23 where the PPPoE setup handler is reachable. The CVSS vector and CTI tags indicate authentication or permissions are required. The submission title mentions BR6478ACV2, but the affected product entry names BR-6478AC firmware 1.23.

Exploitation context

The exploit is described as publicly available, and the CVSS exploitability field references proof-of-concept status. KEV is false in the bundle, so there is no source-supported basis here to claim active exploitation. Remote initiation is reported, but authentication is indicated.

Researcher notes

Evidence is mostly from CVE/VulDB-style reporting. The bundle does not name a fixed firmware version, vendor advisory, or confirmed exploitation. Keep validation non-invasive and focus on asset versioning, reachability, authentication requirements, and vendor remediation status.

Mitigation direction

  • Check Edimax guidance for firmware updates or official remediation.
  • Remove internet exposure to router administration and setup interfaces.
  • Restrict management access to trusted networks and administrators only.
  • Monitor for unusual PPPoE configuration changes or router instability.
  • Replace affected devices if no supported fixed firmware is available.

Validation and detection

  • Inventory Edimax BR-6478AC devices and confirm firmware version 1.23.
  • Verify whether administrative interfaces are reachable from untrusted networks.
  • Confirm PPPoE setup functionality requires authenticated administrative access.
  • Review logs against VulDB CTI indicators where available.
  • Track CVE, vendor, and VulDB pages for remediation updates.
