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 authentication is required; the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint accepts getCrpcConfig requests from any network-reachable host without validating credentials, consistent with CVSS PR:N and the 'Authentication Bypass' tag. The router must be reachable over the network from the attacker's position - exposure is highest when the management interface is accessible on the WAN interface, but LAN-side attackers (e.g., compromised internal hosts) are equally capable. The cloud remote-control (CRPC) feature must be configured or initialized for the response to carry a meaningful management URL; if CRPC is unconfigured, the disclosure is limited to the enable-status flag. Exploitation is bounded to information disclosure only - this endpoint exposes no write or code-execution capability. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects a fully remote, zero-authentication read exposure, and the C:H rating is defensible if the leaked cloud management URL enables follow-on attacks against TOTOLINK's backend or the device's cloud control plane. In practice, the disclosed data - CRPC status and a URL string - is not equivalent to credential or key material disclosure, so real-world impact is more constrained than the raw score implies. EPSS at the 7th percentile and absence from the CISA KEV catalog confirm that exploitation is not observed in the wild; even a mid-sized municipal IT team in leszno managing TOTOLINK T6 branch routers should treat this as a routine patch cycle item rather than an emergency response. The primary threat model is an attacker using the exposed cloud URL to map backend infrastructure or to chain this disclosure with a subsequent, more impactful exploit against the management plane. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with network reach to the router's management interface sends a crafted HTTP POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi invoking the getCrpcConfig action; the router responds without credential validation, returning the CRPC enable flag and the cloud management server URL. The attacker uses this URL to probe TOTOLINK's cloud backend, enumerate management endpoints, or refine a subsequent attack against the device's remote-management plane. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, but exploitation requires only a standard HTTP client and knowledge of the parameter structure. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 01, 2026
Unauthenticated information disclosure in TOTOLINK T6 firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 exposes cloud remote-control configuration data via the getCrpcConfig function at /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. Any network-reachable attacker can submit a crafted POST request without credentials to retrieve the device's cloud remote-protocol-control (CRPC) enable status and management URL. No public exploit code is identified at time of analysis, and EPSS of 0.18% at the 7th percentile indicates minimal current exploitation interest despite the trivially low attack complexity.
RemediationAI
Consult the TOTOLINK firmware download portal at https://www.totolink.net/home/menu/detail/menu_listtpl/download/id/190/ids/36.html for an updated firmware image addressing the getCrpcConfig access-control deficiency; no specific patched version number is confirmed in the available data, so monitor the CVE coordination repository at https://github.com/DarkBoulder/CVE-Vendor-Coordination/blob/main/TOTOLINK/README.md for patch confirmation. As an interim compensating control, restrict inbound access to the router's HTTP management port from untrusted networks, preventing external hosts from reaching /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi entirely; note that this also blocks legitimate remote management. If the cloud remote-control (CRPC) feature is not operationally required, disabling it reduces the sensitivity of what getCrpcConfig can return, though it does not close the unauthenticated endpoint itself.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The TOTOLINK T6 is a SOHO router running firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015. Its management interface exposes a CGI handler at /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi that dispatches multiple device-management actions based on POST parameters. The getCrpcConfig action retrieves cloud remote protocol control configuration - specifically whether cloud management is active and the corresponding cloud management server URL - but performs no access-control check before returning this data to the requestor. CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) describes this root cause precisely: the function omits the authorization gate that should gate sensitive configuration reads. The CPE strings in the source record use the placeholder 'cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a' rather than reflecting the actual TOTOLINK T6 product.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Incorrect access control in the getCrpcConfig function of TOTOLINK T6 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain cloud remote-control status and URL information via sending a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi.
Executive ViewAI
TOTOLINK T6 routers expose remote-management configuration data to unauthenticated network attacks. Any attacker with network access to your device can retrieve cloud-management settings without credentials, potentially enabling targeted attacks on your infrastructure. Organizations operating TOTOLINK T6 devices should prioritize identifying affected units and restricting network exposure.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: disable cloud remote-control functionality where operationally acceptable; implement firewall rules to restrict administrative and web-interface access to affected devices; monitor configuration and access logs for suspicious activity; isolate affected devices to network segments limiting exposure.
