AI Analysis

Impact

This vulnerability resides in the getWiFiApcliScan function of TOTOLINK T6 firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 and permits an unauthenticated attacker to trigger a wireless scan and retrieve the list of connected AP‑client devices by sending a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. The flaw is an access‑control weakness that leaks potentially sensitive information about network clients without requiring any credentials.

Affected Systems

The affected product is the TOTOLINK T6 router running firmware version 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015. No other vendors or products are listed as impacted.

Risk and Exploitability

The exploit is straightforward: an attacker who can reach the router’s HTTP interface can send the malicious POST request from a compromised or malicious host on the local network, triggering the wireless scan and exfiltrating the AP‑client list. The CVSS score is 9.8, and the lack of authentication requirement and the unsolicited data disclosure make the risk significant. EPSS score is <1% and the CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, but the nature of the flaw suggests that an exploit, once available, could be widely used. The primary attack vector is network‑based, requiring access to the router’s management interface.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the router to the latest firmware that patches the access‑control defect in getWiFiApcliScan.
  • Configure network perimeter rules or firewall policies to restrict access to the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint so only trusted internal hosts can perform management actions.
  • Disable or limit wireless scanning features in the router settings if they are not essential for network operation, thereby removing the ability to trigger unsolicited scans.
