CVE-2024-48418
CSRF in Edimax Br-6476Ac Firmware 1.06
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:HCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-48418 is a high-severity CSRF (CWE-352) vulnerability in Edimax Br-6476Ac Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 8.8 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked at the 23th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-3 (Access Enforcement) and SC-23 (Session Authenticity) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2024-48418 is a command injection vulnerability affecting the Edimax AC1200 Wi-Fi 5 Dual-Band Router BR-6476AC version 1.06. The flaw resides in the /goform/fromSetDDNS request handler, which fails to properly sanitize special characters in user-provided parameters. This allows an attacker with access to the web interface to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:A/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) and is associated with CWE-352.
An attacker on an adjacent network can exploit this vulnerability with low complexity and no required privileges or user interaction. By crafting a malicious request to the /goform/fromSetDDNS endpoint with specially crafted parameters containing special characters, the attacker can execute arbitrary shell commands on the router. This grants high-impact control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially leading to full device compromise.
For mitigation guidance, refer to the vendor advisory at http://edimax.com and the detailed advisory at https://github.com/SpikeReply/advisories/blob/c271ddb997bc0263274118acc380bc71ce9c316b/cve/edimax/cve-2024-48418.md. The vulnerability was published on 2025-01-27.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Access enforcement requires verifying that state-changing requests originate from the authenticated user rather than a forged cross-site source.
Protecting session authenticity prevents attackers from replaying or forging authenticated requests via the victim's browser.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Secure SDLC practices directly require anti-CSRF controls such as tokens or SameSite attributes.

By denying access to phishing or malicious sites, the control lowers the likelihood that a user will be tricked into submitting a forged request that performs an unintended action on another site.
