Exploitation Conditions

The TOTOLINK T6's web management interface must be network-reachable by the attacker - accessible from the LAN by default, or from the WAN if remote management is enabled (non-default but common in SOHO deployments). No authentication is required, confirmed by PR:N in the CVSS vector. No user interaction is needed. The vulnerability is limited to firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015; other versions are not confirmed affected or safe. Exploitation yields information disclosure only - the attacker cannot modify device configuration or execute code via this vulnerability alone, limiting the immediate blast radius to reconnaissance.

Impact

The CVSS 7.5 score (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) correctly captures that exploitation is network-accessible and requires no authentication or user interaction, with high confidentiality impact. However, impact is strictly bounded - no integrity or availability loss is possible via this path alone. EPSS at 0.18% (7th percentile) indicates low current mass-exploitation activity, and the vulnerability does not appear in CISA KEV. The information leaked - network topology and interface configuration - does not enable direct code execution but meaningfully aids reconnaissance for follow-on attacks. The practical risk is moderately elevated by the typical deployment reality of SOHO devices: they frequently face the internet with remote management inadvertently enabled and unchanged default credentials, meaning the attack surface is wider than a pure technical reading suggests. No conflict between CVSS signals and the description is present; the vector accurately reflects the conditions stated.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker performing passive internet scanning identifies a TOTOLINK T6 with its management port exposed, then sends a single unauthenticated POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi with a payload invoking getNetInfoCfg. The router responds with network topology and interface configuration data - IP subnets, interface assignments, and network layout - without any credential challenge. The attacker uses this information to map the target's internal network structure and craft more precise follow-on attacks against devices behind the router.

AnalysisAIv1 – Sep 01, 2026

Unauthenticated network topology and interface configuration disclosure in TOTOLINK T6 firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 allows any attacker with access to the device's web management interface to retrieve sensitive network layout data without credentials. The getNetInfoCfg function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi enforces no access control, so a single crafted POST request returns interface and topology details that support downstream reconnaissance and targeted follow-on attacks. No public exploit code is confirmed and EPSS sits at 0.18% (7th percentile), but SOHO routers are frequently internet-exposed with factory defaults intact, elevating practical risk above what EPSS alone implies.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patched firmware version is identified in the available data; no specific fix version can be cited. Organizations operating TOTOLINK T6 devices should immediately restrict access to the web management interface from untrusted networks - particularly the WAN interface - using upstream firewall ACLs or perimeter controls, noting that this control may require a separate border device if the router itself is the only perimeter. If remote management is not operationally required, disabling WAN-side access to port 80/443 on the device is the most effective compensating control. Monitor the vendor firmware download page at https://www.totolink.net/home/menu/detail/menu_listtpl/download/id/190/ids/36.html and vendor coordination tracking at https://github.com/DarkBoulder/CVE-Vendor-Coordination/blob/main/TOTOLINK/README.md for patched releases.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The TOTOLINK T6 is a SOHO router exposing its management interface through a CGI dispatcher at /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. Individual functions - such as getNetInfoCfg - are invoked via POST parameters routed through this single endpoint. CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) describes the root cause: the getNetInfoCfg handler performs no session validation or privilege check before returning network topology and interface configuration data to the caller. The NVD CPE entry incorrectly records vendor and product as 'n/a', which is a known placeholder error; the correct affected product is the TOTOLINK T6 at firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015. The Tags field likewise contains the erroneous 'N A' label rather than a meaningful product or vendor identifier.

DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect access control in the getNetInfoCfg function of TOTOLINK T6 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain network topology and interface configuration information via sending a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

TOTOLINK T6 routers (firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 and earlier) disclose network topology and interface configuration to unauthenticated attackers, enabling reconnaissance that guides targeted follow-on attacks against exposed SOHO infrastructure. Organizations operating these devices face elevated risk of being mapped by adversaries prior to compromise, especially given the prevalence of internet-exposed routers with factory defaults in small office networks. No security patch is currently available.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: block all external access to device web management interfaces via firewall rules; deploy network segmentation to isolate management traffic from user networks; enable logging and alerting on requests to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi; disable remote management if operationally unnecessary. Prioritize replacement of internet-exposed devices.
