MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions - remote unauthenticated requests to the web management interface of affected TOTOLINK A3300R and N200RE firmware, per the description's statement that payloads are accepted 'without logging in.' The primary limiting factor is network reachability: router management interfaces are typically LAN-side by default, so internet-wide exploitation requires that remote/WAN management be enabled or the device otherwise be exposed; no user interaction or authentication is required once the interface is reachable. |
| Impact | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw scoring 9.1, consistent with the description of sending payloads 'without logging in' and the CWE-284 (Incorrect Access Control) / Authentication Bypass classification. Public exploit code exists (referenced PDF on GitHub), which raises practical risk. However, several signals are MISSING: no EPSS exploitation-probability score was provided, and the vulnerability is NOT listed in CISA KEV, so there is no evidence of confirmed active exploitation despite the public POC - treat this as 'exploit available' rather than 'actively exploited.' Note a discrepancy worth verifying: the CVSS vector claims C:H/I:H/A:N, but the description ('send payloads to the interface') is too vague to confirm high confidentiality and integrity impact or to rule out availability impact on a router - the impact metrics appear generously assigned and should be verified against the POC or vendor. Net: a credible, easy-to-exploit unauthenticated flaw in consumer/SOHO routers with public POC, but real-world mass-exploitation risk is tempered by the LAN-facing nature of most router management interfaces and the product's limited enterprise footprint. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with network access to the router's web management interface sends a crafted payload to a protected endpoint without authenticating, exploiting the broken access control to reach administrative functionality. Because public exploit code exists and complexity is low (AC:L), exploitation is trivial once the interface is reachable; the practical gating factor is whether the management interface is exposed to the attacker's network segment or the internet. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 14, 2026
Incorrect access control in the web management interface of TOTOLINK A3300R and N200RE router firmware allows remote, unauthenticated attackers to send requests to protected interface endpoints without logging in, granting them high-impact read and write capability over device configuration and data (CVSS 3.1 base 9.1, AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N). Affected builds include A3300R V17.0.0cu.557_B20221024 and N200RE V9.3.5u.6448_B20240521 and V9.3.5u.6437_B20230519, with the practical exposure ceiling set by whether the management interface is reachable from the WAN side. Publicly available exploit code exists (a published proof-of-concept is linked from the NVD entry), but the flaw is not confirmed as actively exploited (no CISA KEV listing) at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch or fixed firmware version is identified in the available data for this CVE, so mitigation must be architectural until TOTOLINK publishes updated firmware; check https://www.totolink.net/ for new A3300R and N200RE image releases and apply them when they appear. The most effective immediate control is to eliminate reachability of the web management interface from untrusted networks: disable remote/WAN administration and UPnP-based port forwarding so the management UI is confined to the LAN, and place the router behind a firewall that drops inbound traffic to its management ports (typically 80/443) - the trade-off is that legitimate remote administration then requires a VPN rather than a browser. Where the interface must remain reachable, restrict it by source-IP allow-list or an upstream reverse proxy that enforces its own authentication, accepting the added operational complexity and the risk that a misconfigured proxy re-exposes the endpoint. Because this is an authentication bypass (CWE-284), changing default or admin passwords does not address the root cause and should not be treated as a fix. Monitor router logs and inbound traffic for unexpected requests to administrative URIs from non-LAN sources, and consider replacing devices whose firmware no longer receives security updates, since unpatched consumer routers exposed to the internet are frequently targeted. The exploit write-up at https://github.com/l0tk3/CVES/blob/main/CVE-2025-55895.pdf can be used to validate exposure in a controlled test environment.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw is classified as CWE-284 (Improper Access Control), specifically an authentication bypass in the HTTP web management interface of the affected TOTOLINK consumer/SOHO routers. The firmware images carry the embedded operating-system CPE designations cpe:2.3:o:totolink:a3300r_firmware:17.0.0cu.557_b20221024 and cpe:2.3:o:totolink:n200re_firmware:9.3.5u.6437_b20230519, confirming that the vulnerable component is the router firmware itself rather than a separate application. In this class of defect, one or more interface handlers fail to enforce session or credential checks before processing requests, so a crafted HTTP payload reaches privileged functionality that should require an authenticated administrative session. Because the CVSS vector is PR:N and UI:N, the bypass is reachable by any network client that can open a connection to the management interface, and the C:H/I:H with A:N profile indicates the attacker can read and modify device data and configuration without directly degrading availability. The root cause is the absence of a server-side authorization gate on the targeted endpoint, not a cryptographic weakness or credential-guessing issue, which means traditional password hygiene does not mitigate it.

Unauthenticated remote access-control bypass gives AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N; C:H/I:H retained from input for privileged-function access, though the vague description leaves impact only weakly supported.

DescriptionCVE.org
TOTOLINK A3300R V17.0.0cu.557_B20221024 and N200RE V9.3.5u.6448_B20240521 and V9.3.5u.6437_B20230519 are vulnerable to Incorrect Access Control. Attackers can send payloads to the interface without logging in (remote).
Executive ViewAI
Critical access control vulnerability in TOTOLINK A3300R and N200RE router firmware allows unauthenticated attackers to read and modify device configuration, potentially granting full control over network traffic and data. Organizations using these routers in branch offices, remote sites, or as edge devices are at risk, especially if management interfaces are exposed to the internet. Publicly available exploit code exists, and no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; immediate mitigations are required to prevent compromise of network integrity and confidentiality.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include disabling remote management, restricting management interface access to internal trusted networks only, implementing network segmentation, and monitoring for anomalous configuration changes; replace affected devices if feasible.
