9.1 CRITICAL

Unauthenticated remote MQTT trigger with no user interaction (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N), but the function only writes/triggers firmware sync, so no confidentiality read (C:N) while integrity and availability are high.

DescriptionCVE.org

Incorrect access control in the informSyncUpgfw function of TOTOLINK T6 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 allows unauthenticated attackers to mass-trigger firmware update activity across mesh slaves via sending a crafted MQTT message to the cs_broker component.

AnalysisAI

Unauthenticated firmware-update abuse in the TOTOLINK T6 mesh router (firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015) lets a remote attacker mass-trigger firmware update activity across all mesh slave nodes by publishing a crafted MQTT message to the internal cs_broker component. The informSyncUpgfw handler performs no access control (CWE-284), so any actor able to reach the broker can initiate the sync-upgrade workflow fleet-wide. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires the attacker to be able to publish a crafted MQTT message to the TOTOLINK T6's internal cs_broker component and invoke the informSyncUpgfw handler; no authentication is required (PR:N) and no user interaction is needed. … 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, C:H/I:H/A:H = 9.8) treats this as a full-impact remote unauthenticated compromise, but that appears overstated: informSyncUpgfw is a write/trigger action that initiates firmware-sync activity, not a data-read primitive, so a Confidentiality:High rating is not supported by the description - the realistic impact is integrity/availability (mass, unwanted firmware update activity that can disrupt or brick mesh slaves). … 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 patched firmware version is identified in the provided data at time of analysis; monitor the TOTOLINK download page (https://www.totolink.net/home/menu/detail/menu_listtpl/download/id/190/ids/36.html) and the vendor-coordination trackers for an updated build superseding 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: inventory all TOTOLINK T6 devices and verify firmware version 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 exposure, then implement network segmentation to restrict MQTT broker access from untrusted networks and enable logging of broker traffic. …
