MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | The CVSS 6.3 (Medium) rating reflects attack vector of network-accessible, low attack complexity, and authentication requirement (PR:L), with impact limited to confidentiality, integrity, and availability at system level. However, the EPSS exploitation factor (E:P) indicates proof-of-concept availability correlates with elevated real-world exploitation probability. The combination of public exploit code availability, low attack complexity (AC:L), and the router's typical internet-facing deployment increases practical risk beyond the baseline CVSS score. Remediation should be prioritized for internet-exposed Totolink A3300R devices, though the authentication requirement (PR:L) limits exposure to users with valid router credentials or those able to bypass authentication. The SSVC decision framework would classify this as significant: exploitation is confirmed possible (POC public), technical impact is high (command execution), and the product type (network appliance) suggests broad deployment. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An authenticated attacker (or one who has obtained valid router credentials through phishing or default password exploitation) sends a crafted HTTP request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi with a malicious command injected into the enable parameter-for example, enable=1;id; or enable=1$(whoami)-which executes arbitrary shell commands on the router with the privileges of the web server process. Public exploit code published on GitHub demonstrates this attack against the A3300R specifically, making the attack feasible for actors with basic networking knowledge. The resulting command execution could allow an attacker to extract router configuration, modify firewall rules, pivot to the local network, or establish persistence on the device. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 30, 2026
Remote command injection in Totolink A3300R firmware 17.0.0cu.557_b20221024 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the enable parameter in the setUPnPCfg function at /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.3 with confirmed proof-of-concept demonstrated on GitHub.
RemediationAI
Users should upgrade their Totolink A3300R firmware to the latest available release beyond 17.0.0cu.557_b20221024 as soon as available from Totolink. No specific patched version number has been independently confirmed in available data; therefore, users must visit https://www.totolink.net/ to check for firmware updates and apply the newest build. As a temporary mitigation pending firmware update, restrict access to the router's web management interface (typically port 80/443) to trusted networks only, disable remote management features if available, and ensure strong authentication credentials are in place to limit unauthorized access to CGI endpoints.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability exists in the UPnP configuration handler (setUPnPCfg function) within the Totolink A3300R router's CGI interface. The weakness is classified as CWE-77 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command), indicating that user-supplied input from the enable parameter is not properly sanitized before being passed to system command execution routines. The affected CGI script at /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi processes UPnP configuration requests; when the enable argument is manipulated, attacker-controlled shell metacharacters and command sequences bypass input validation and execute in the router's system context.
