Buffer Overflow in Edimax BR-6478AC formQoS

IdentifiersCVE-2026-10126CWE-120· Buffer Copy without Checking Size…

CVE-2026-10126 is a remotely reachable buffer overflow vulnerability affecting Edimax BR-6478AC firmware version 1.23. The flaw is present in the formQoS function exposed through the /goform/formQoS POST request handler. According to the provided content, manipulation of the selSSID argument can trigger the overflow. Because the vulnerable code is reachable over the network via crafted POST requests, an attacker with access to the affected management interface can cause memory corruption in the router process handling the request. Public exploit information is available.

ANALYST BRIEF

Impact, mitigation & remediation

What it means. What to do now. Patch path, mitigations, and the assume-compromise checklist.

Impact

What an attacker gets, and what they’ve been doing with it.

Successful exploitation can cause memory corruption in the affected router, leading to denial of service and potentially full compromise of the device depending on exploit reliability and runtime protections. The supplied scoring indicates high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability. In practice, this could allow an attacker to crash the service or device, execute arbitrary code in the context of the vulnerable process, alter device behavior or configuration, and access sensitive information handled by the router.

Mitigation

If you can’t patch tonight, do this now.

Restrict access to the router's web administration interface to trusted management networks only. Disable WAN/remote administration if enabled. Place the device behind network controls that prevent untrusted hosts from reaching the management service, and use ACLs, firewall rules, or VPN-only administration. Monitor for suspicious POST requests to /goform/formQoS, especially requests carrying abnormal or oversized selSSID values. Where possible, segment or isolate affected devices until patched or replaced.

Remediation

Patch, then assume compromise.

Upgrade to a vendor-fixed firmware release if one is available. If no patched firmware exists, the practical remediation is to replace the affected device or retire the vulnerable firmware from exposed environments. Validate after upgrade that the management endpoint handling /goform/formQoS is no longer vulnerable and that remote administration is disabled unless explicitly required.
