DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect access control in the UploadFirmwareFile function of TOTOLINK T6 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 allows unauthenticated attackers to upload a crafted firmware image via sending a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated firmware upload in TOTOLINK T6 routers (firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015) lets remote attackers push a crafted firmware image via the UploadFirmwareFile handler in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi without any credentials. Because the device applies attacker-supplied firmware, this is effectively a full-device-takeover primitive yielding persistent code execution. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires reachability of the TOTOLINK T6 HTTP management interface and the ability to send a POST request to the UploadFirmwareFile action of /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi; 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 CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N, C:H/I:H/A:H = 9.8) is well-matched to this vulnerability class: unauthenticated firmware replacement genuinely delivers full confidentiality, integrity, and availability loss, unlike the read-only TOTOLINK getter CVEs where C:H is overstated. … 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 at time of analysis; monitor the TOTOLINK download portal (https://www.totolink.net/home/menu/detail/menu_listtpl/download/id/190/ids/36.html) for an updated T6 build and apply it once published. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, conduct an inventory of all TOTOLINK T6 routers in production environments and identify models running firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 or earlier; immediately segment these devices on isolated VLANs with restricted management access and enable centralized logging of all device changes. …
