DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect access control in the setVpnPassCfg function of TOTOLINK T6 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 allows unauthenticated attackers to weaken edge filtering via sending a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated access-control bypass in the TOTOLINK T6 router (firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015) lets remote attackers reconfigure the device's VPN pass-through / edge-filtering settings by sending a crafted POST request to the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint, which fails to authenticate calls to the setVpnPassCfg function. Successful exploitation weakens the router's perimeter filtering, degrading the security posture protecting devices behind it. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires network reachability to the router's HTTP management interface and the ability to POST to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi invoking the setVpnPassCfg function; per CVSS PR:N/UI:N no authentication or user interaction is needed. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment Signals conflict and should be weighed carefully. … 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 exact vendor-released fix version is identified in the available data at time of analysis; check the TOTOLINK firmware download portal (https://www.totolink.net/home/menu/detail/menu_listtpl/download/id/190/ids/36.html and https://www.totolink.net/) for a firmware build newer than 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 for the T6 and flash it once available. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: conduct an immediate inventory of all TOTOLINK T6 routers to identify devices running firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 or earlier, restrict network access to the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint via firewall rules to trusted administrative sources only, and enable detailed logging for all access to this endpoint. …
