CVE-2025-70161

EDIMAX BR-6208AC V2_1.02 is vulnerable to Command Injection. This arises because the pppUserName field is directly passe

EDIMAX BR-6208AC V2_1.02 is vulnerable to Command Injection. This arises because the pppUserName field is directly passed to a shell command via the system() function without proper sanitization. An attacker can exploit this by injecting malicious commands into the pppUserName field, allowing arbitrary code execution.
