Incorrect access control in the setUpgradeFW function of TOTOLINK T6 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 allows unauthenticated attackers to trigger firmware-upgrade workflow changes via sending a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi.
AnalysisAI
Improper access control in the setUpgradeFW function of the TOTOLINK T6 router (firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015) lets unauthenticated remote attackers alter the firmware-upgrade workflow by sending a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. Because the CGI endpoint enforces no authentication, an attacker on a reachable network can tamper with the device's firmware update process, risking integrity compromise and denial of service (bricking). …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reachability to the TOTOLINK T6 management web server and the ability to send a POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi invoking the setUpgradeFW handler; no authentication, credentials, or user interaction are needed (PR:N/UI:N). … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The provided CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H = 9.1) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated flaw with high integrity and availability impact and no confidentiality impact - consistent with tampering with a firmware-upgrade routine rather than reading data. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released fixed firmware version is identified in the available data, so no exact patch version can be cited - monitor the TOTOLINK download portal (https://www.totolink.net/home/menu/detail/menu_listtpl/download/id/190/ids/36.html) for an update superseding 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
