Description
Incorrect access control in the getTracerouteCfg function of TOTOLINK T6 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain traceroute diagnostic logs via sending a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi.

AI Analysis

Impact

A flaw in the getTracerouteCfg function permits an unauthenticated requester to retrieve traceroute logs without proper authorization. The vulnerability is due to missing access control checks on the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint, which, when a specially crafted POST request is sent, returns diagnostic data that may contain network topology and device information. The impact is the disclosure of sensitive network configuration data, potentially aiding attackers in mapping the local environment.

Affected Systems

The issue affects TOTOLINK routers, specifically model T6 running firmware version 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015. No broader version range is indicated; the vulnerability was identified in this particular build.

Risk and Exploitability

Because the flaw allows unauthenticated exploitation, any host with network reachability to the target router could trigger the disclosure by sending a crafted POST request. The EPSS score is not available and the CVE is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, so the likelihood of widespread exploitation is uncertain. Nonetheless, the lack of authentication represents a serious security gap that could be leveraged by attackers with knowledge of the router's IP address.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the router to the latest firmware version that includes a fix for the trace‑route configuration endpoint.
  • If a firmware update is not immediately available, restrict access to the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi URL using firewall rules or local access control lists to block unauthenticated requests.
  • Disable or remove the getTracerouteCfg functionality through the router's settings if an option exists, or isolate the device from untrusted networks until a patch is applied.
