Lifecycle Timeline
7DescriptionCVE.org
A weakness has been identified in Totolink WA300 5.2cu.7112_B20190227. The impacted element is the function setLanguageCfg of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component POST Request Handler. This manipulation of the argument langType causes command injection. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.
AnalysisAI
Command injection in Totolink WA300 5.2cu.7112_B20190227 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the langType parameter in the setLanguageCfg function of /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. Publicly available exploit code exists, though the low CVSS 2.1 score reflects limited scope (only low confidentiality and integrity impact, no system integrity or availability impact) and authentication requirement, reducing real-world attack surface.
Technical ContextAI
The Totolink WA300 is a wireless router that processes POST requests through its CGI handler at /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. The setLanguageCfg function fails to properly sanitize the langType parameter before passing it to system commands, allowing command injection via shell metacharacters. This is a classic CWE-77 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command) vulnerability where user input reaches the OS command execution layer without adequate validation or escaping. The CPE indicates all versions of the WA300 product line are potentially affected, though the specific vulnerable version identified is 5.2cu.7112_B20190227.
RemediationAI
Contact Totolink support for availability of patched firmware for the WA300 line; no specific patch version is confirmed in vendor advisories at time of analysis. As interim mitigations, restrict administrative access to the router's web interface to trusted internal networks only, implement network segmentation to isolate router management interfaces from untrusted segments, disable remote management features if not required, and enforce strong authentication credentials (change default admin passwords immediately). Disable the setLanguageCfg functionality if available through the router's administrative panel, or apply input validation rules at the network perimeter (WAF/IDS rules) to block POST requests to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi containing shell metacharacters (pipes, semicolons, backticks, command substitution syntax) in the langType parameter. Monitor Totolink's official website (https://www.totolink.net/) for firmware updates and security advisories.
