Exploitation Conditions

The attacker must be able to send an HTTP request to the router's Device-Information CGI endpoint (infostat.cgi) and supply a manipulated CONTENT_LENGTH value that overflows a stack buffer in sub_402340; per the supplied CVSS vector (PR:N/UI:N) no authentication or user interaction is required. Practical limiting factors: the attacker needs network reachability to the router's web service - on typical SOHO deployments the management interface is LAN-only, so remote (WAN-side) exploitation realistically requires that remote/web management be exposed to the internet, which is non-default on most units. Exploitation is also constrained to the specific affected firmware (4.1.2cu.5268_B20221104) on the A950RG model. The precise overflow trigger beyond CONTENT_LENGTH manipulation is not described in the available sources.

Impact

Severity signals are strongly aligned at the high end: the input CVSS 4.0 vector is AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N with High impact across confidentiality, integrity and availability (9.3), and the vuln.today Decision label is act_now, so urgency is elevated by the decision framework itself. However, exploitation-probability signals are more modest and should temper how this is prioritized: EPSS is only 0.61% (49th percentile), the CVE is NOT listed in CISA KEV, and the PoC is a reference only, not verified as working exploit code. This is the key tension - the CVSS/Decision signals say 'critical, act now' while EPSS and the absence of KEV indicate no confirmed widespread or active exploitation yet. The act_now label is driven primarily by the unauthenticated-remote, fully-impacting vector plus a public PoC reference, not by observed in-the-wild activity. Net: a genuinely serious flaw on reachable devices, but the real-world footprint is limited by product prevalence (a specific consumer router model) and by the fact that these routers are typically not internet-facing unless remote management is enabled. Treat as high-priority patching for exposed/managed TOTOLINK A950RG units, but note the exploitation evidence is a PoC reference, not confirmed active exploitation.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

A remote attacker who can reach the router's web interface sends a crafted HTTP request to infostat.cgi (Device-Information CGI) with a manipulated CONTENT_LENGTH value, overflowing a stack buffer in sub_402340. Given the CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), this requires no authentication or user interaction and low complexity. A public PoC reference exists (a gist) but it is not verified as working exploit code, so weaponized reliability is unconfirmed.

Act Now Prioritize within 24-48h. Why: CRITICAL severity + public POC available.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 28, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in TOTOLINK A950RG firmware 4.1.2cu.5268_B20221104 affects the Device-Information CGI handler infostat.cgi, where manipulation of the CONTENT_LENGTH argument in sub_402340 can corrupt stack memory and potentially lead to code execution or denial of service. The issue is remotely reachable, and the supplied CVSS 4.0 vector (PR:N/UI:N) indicates no authentication or user interaction is required when the router's web interface is reachable, although typical SOHO deployments expose management only on the LAN unless remote/web administration has been enabled. A public PoC reference exists but is not verified as working exploit code; no CISA KEV confirmation is present, EPSS is 0.61% (49th percentile), and the vuln.today decision label is act_now.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch or fixed firmware version is identified in the supplied data, so the primary action is to reduce exposure while confirming remediation with TOTOLINK. Because exploitation requires HTTP reachability to infostat.cgi, disable WAN-side remote/web management and block inbound access to the router's web interface from untrusted networks; the trade-off is loss of remote administration. Restrict management access to a trusted LAN/VLAN or specific administrative hosts via firewall/ACL rules, accepting the operational burden of segmented access. Monitor for malformed or oversized CONTENT_LENGTH values against infostat.cgi where logging is available. Consult https://vuldb.com/vuln/426406, https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-116508, and https://www.totolink.net/ for updated firmware guidance, and apply the vendor fix once an exact patched version is published.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The affected component is a CGI handler in the TOTOLINK A950RG embedded web management stack. In infostat.cgi, the function sub_402340 processes the CONTENT_LENGTH value without adequate bounds checking, so an HTTP request with an oversized value overflows a fixed-size stack buffer; this maps to CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow). The supplied CVSS 4.0 vector is AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N with High confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact, so the flaw is network-reachable and requires no authentication or user interaction per that vector. EUVD pins the affected release to 4.1.2cu.5268_B20221104, while the CPE cpe:2.3:a:totolink:a950rg:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is a broad A950RG wildcard and does not establish whether other firmware builds share the flaw. The precise overflow trigger beyond manipulation of CONTENT_LENGTH is not described in the available sources.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

A critical vulnerability in TOTOLINK A950RG routers (firmware version 4.1.2cu.5268_B20221104) allows unauthenticated attackers to crash or potentially take control of affected devices. This impacts any organization using these routers for remote work, branch connectivity, or guest access, as a compromised router could expose internal networks. While exploitation requires the router's web interface to be reachable, the potential for network breach makes this a high-priority risk for leadership to address.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor patch available; interim mitigations include disabling remote web administration, restricting management interface access to trusted IPs, placing routers on isolated network segments, and monitoring for anomalous requests to infostat.cgi.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.
