MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit Totolik A7100RU router version 7.4cu.2313_b20191024 by sending crafted requests to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi manipulating the 'enable' parameter in setSyslogCfg function. No authentication or user interaction required. Default configurations vulnerable. |
| Impact | Critical unauthenticated remote code execution via OS command injection in CGI handler affecting Totolink A7100RU routers. CVSS 9.8 reflects maximum severity: network-accessible, no authentication required, trivial exploitation complexity. Elevated observed exploitation activity combined with public exploit availability makes this a priority for immediate patching of affected devices. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | Attacker sends HTTP request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi with malicious OS commands injected into the 'enable' parameter of setSyslogCfg function. Publicly available exploit code exists; unauthenticated remote code execution achieves system-level access in single request. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 10, 2026
Remote unauthenticated OS command injection in Totolink A7100RU router version 7.4cu.2313_b20191024 allows arbitrary command execution via the setSyslogCfg function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. Attackers exploit the 'enable' parameter without authentication to achieve full system compromise. CVSS 9.8 critical severity reflects network accessibility, no complexity barriers, and complete confidentiality/integrity/availability impact. Publicly available exploit code exists, significantly lowering attack barrier for opportunistic scanning campaigns targeting consumer routers.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Totolink has not published security advisories addressing this vulnerability per manufacturer site review (https://www.totolink.net/). Immediate mitigations: disable remote administration interfaces, restrict CGI access to trusted internal networks via firewall rules, implement network segmentation to isolate IoT devices. Monitor vendor security bulletins at https://www.totolink.net/ for future firmware updates. Consider replacement with actively maintained router models if vendor remains unresponsive.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was identified in Totolink A7100RU 7.4cu.2313_b20191024. This affects the function setSyslogCfg of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component CGI Handler. Such manipulation of the argument enable leads to os command injection. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.
Executive ViewAI
Totolik A7100RU routers running version 7.4cu.2313_b20191024 contain a critical remote command injection vulnerability allowing unauthenticated attackers to completely compromise affected devices with publicly available exploit code. Organizations with this router model in their network perimeter or employee home office deployments face immediate risk of network infiltration, data exfiltration, and lateral movement into corporate systems. This vulnerability demands urgent inventory verification and remediation planning given the absence of vendor patches and trivial exploitation barrier.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network access to router management interfaces via firewall rules blocking inbound traffic to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi; (2) Isolate affected routers on separate VLAN with egress filtering to prevent command exfiltration; (3) Monitor router logs for suspicious setSyslogCfg requests; (4) Implement network IDS/IPS rules to detect exploitation attempts; (5) Escalate support case with Totolik for emergency patch timeline. Hardware replacement remains the recommended long-term control.
