AI Analysis

Impact

The SystemSettings function in TOTOLINK T6 firmware (4.1.5cu.748_B20211015) implements an incorrect access control that allows unauthenticated attackers to retrieve administrative import and export endpoint information by sending a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. This flaw exposes sensitive configuration data and reflects an improper access control weakness.

Affected Systems

TOTOLINK T6 routers or modems running firmware version 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 are affected. The vulnerability is specific to the SystemSettings CGI endpoint exposed by the router’s management interface.

Risk and Exploitability

The vulnerability enables unauthenticated disclosure of configuration information and can be exploited by any networked attacker with knowledge of the endpoint. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog, indicating that the exploitation likelihood is currently unknown but the potential impact remains significant. Attackers need only send a POST request to the CGI endpoint; no further prerequisites are stated. The vulnerability is therefore considered a moderate to high risk until a patch is applied.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Upgrade the router firmware to a version that resolves the SystemSettings access control flaw.
  • Restrict external access to the router’s management interface by configuring firewall rules or VPN access so that only trusted internal devices can reach the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint.
  • Disable or secure the administrative import/export features so that they require authentication, or remove those features if they are not needed.
