DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was detected in Totolink A800R 4.1.2cu.5137_B20200730. This impacts the function setAppEasyWizardConfig in the library /lib/cste_modules/app.so. The manipulation of the argument apcliSsid results in buffer overflow. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used.

AnalysisAI

Buffer overflow in Totolink A800R router firmware 4.1.2cu.5137_B20200730 allows authenticated remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The vulnerability resides in the setAppEasyWizardConfig function within /lib/cste_modules/app.so, triggered by malicious input to the apcliSsid parameter. Public exploit code is available on GitHub (CVSS 7.4, CVSS:4.0). Authentication is required (PR:L), but attack complexity is low (AC:L)

Technical ContextAI

This is a classic stack-based or heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-120) affecting embedded Linux firmware on the Totolink A800R wireless router. The vulnerability occurs in the app.so shared library, specifically within the setAppEasyWizardConfig function that handles Wi-Fi configuration through the device's web management interface or mobile app API. The apcliSsid parameter, which should contain an SSID string for AP client mode configuration, lacks proper bounds checking. When an attacker supplies an oversized input string, it overwrites adjacent memory regions, potentially corrupting the stack frame or heap metadata. Given the CVSS vector (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H), successful exploitation grants the attacker complete control over confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device. The affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:totolink:a800r:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*) identifies this as a product-level vulnerability in Totolink A800R firmware. Embedded devices often run with root privileges, meaning arbitrary code execution typically occurs at the highest privilege level, enabling full device compromise, firmware modification, or use as a pivot point into the local network.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. The Totolink website reference provides no security advisory or firmware update addressing CVE-2026-6157. Given the age of the affected firmware (July 2020) and typical consumer router support lifecycles, a patch may never be released. Recommended actions: (1) Immediately replace Totolink A800R devices with actively supported hardware from vendors with established security update processes. (2) If replacement is not immediately feasible, isolate affected devices on separate network segments with strict firewall rules, disable remote management interfaces entirely (both WAN-side and LAN-side web/app access if not required), change all default credentials to strong unique passwords, and monitor for suspicious configuration changes or reboots. (3) Implement network segmentation to prevent compromised routers from pivoting to critical assets. (4) Consider third-party firmware alternatives (DD-WRT, OpenWRT) only if compatible builds exist for A800R hardware and if you have technical expertise to implement them. Check VulDB entry (https://vuldb.com/vuln/357037) and GitHub POC (https://github.com/xyh4ck/iot_poc/blob/main/TOTOLINK/A800R/01_Buffer_Overflow_setAppEasyWizardConfig.md) for any community-developed mitigations, though none are indicated in provided data.
