AI Analysis

Impact

A command injection flaw resides in the setIptvCfg function inside /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi on Totolink A3300R routers. By manipulating the vlanPriLan3 argument, an attacker can cause the router’s web server process to execute arbitrary operating‑system commands. The injected commands run with the privileges granted to the web service, allowing full control over the device and the surrounding network. This weakness is identified as CWE‑74 and CWE‑77.

Affected Systems

Affected devices are Totolink A3300R routers with firmware 17.0.0cu.557_b20221024. The vulnerability is present in the setIptvCfg code and applies to all builds that have not been updated beyond this version.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 5.3 indicates moderate severity, while an EPSS of 4% suggests that exploitation is feasible but not prevalent. The vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Public exploit code demonstrates that a remote attacker can trigger the injection by sending crafted HTTP requests to the router’s web interface, typically requiring network access to the management interface and possibly no authentication, though credential prerequisites are not explicitly stated.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Update the router to the latest firmware available from Totolink that addresses the command injection issue.
  • If a firmware update is unavailable, block external access to the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint by configuring firewall rules or disabling the router’s web server, restricting the interface to trusted internal networks.
  • Implement input validation or a whitelist for the vlanPriLan3 parameter through router configuration or additional access controls, and monitor logs for suspicious requests.
