Lifecycle Timeline
8DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was found in Totolink A7100RU 7.4cu.2313_b20191024. Affected by this vulnerability is the function setTracerouteCfg of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component CGI Handler. The manipulation of the argument command results in os command injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection in Totolink A7100RU router version 7.4cu.2313_b20191024 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands with router privileges via the setTracerouteCfg function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. Publicly available exploit code exists on GitHub, significantly lowering the attack barrier. CVSS 9.8 (Critical) with network vector, low complexity, and no authentication required indicates maximum exploitability. While not confirmed in CISA KEV, the public POC makes this an immediate patching priority for affected devices.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability exploits CWE-78 (OS Command Injection) in the Totolink A7100RU router's CGI-based web management interface. The setTracerouteCfg function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi fails to properly sanitize the 'command' parameter before passing it to a system shell execution context. CGI (Common Gateway Interface) scripts in embedded devices historically exhibit poor input validation, allowing attackers to break out of intended command contexts using shell metacharacters (semicolons, pipes, backticks). The affected product is identified by CPE 2.3:a:totolink:a7100ru:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* running firmware version 7.4cu.2313_b20191024. Totolink routers are consumer-grade networking devices common in SOHO environments, typically running BusyBox-based Linux with root-level web server processes.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Users should immediately check the Totolink official website (https://www.totolink.net/) and support portal for firmware updates newer than version 7.4cu.2313_b20191024. If no patch exists, implement defense-in-depth controls: disable remote administration interfaces, restrict web GUI access to trusted internal IPs only via firewall rules, place the device behind a separate firewall if used in production, and monitor for unusual outbound connections indicating compromise. Consider replacing the device with a model from a vendor with active security support if Totolink does not release a patch within a reasonable timeframe.
