Network-reachable low-complexity stack overflow yielding code execution gives C/I/A:H; PR:N follows the reported vector but is uncertain since cstecgi.cgi often requires a session.

A security vulnerability has been detected in TOTOLINK N600R 4.3.0cu.7647_B20210106. The affected element is the function setSystemConfig of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component CGI Handler. Such manipulation of the argument Hostname leads to stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in the TOTOLINK N600R router (firmware 4.3.0cu.7647_B20210106) lets remote attackers corrupt memory by supplying an oversized Hostname argument to the setSystemConfig function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi, potentially enabling arbitrary code execution on the device. Publicly available exploit code exists (disclosed via VulDB and a GitHub write-up), though the flaw is not listed in CISA KEV. …

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires network reachability to the router's HTTP management service and the ability to call the setSystemConfig action of /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi with an attacker-controlled, oversized Hostname argument on firmware 4.3.0cu.7647_B20210106. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The signals mostly agree this is a genuine, easily reachable flaw: the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation with no authentication or user interaction, and the E:P (Proof-of-Concept) flag plus a published GitHub PoC confirm working exploit code. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker with network access to the router's management interface sends a crafted HTTP request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi invoking setSystemConfig with an overlong Hostname value, overflowing a stack buffer and hijacking control flow to run attacker-supplied code on the device. Because a public PoC and technical write-up already exist and CVSS complexity is low, a remote attacker could reliably crash the router or gain code execution; success yields full control of the gateway and the traffic passing through it. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis; TOTOLINK has published no fixed firmware version in the provided data, so upgrade guidance cannot cite an exact build - monitor https://www.totolink.net/ for an updated N600R firmware release. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
Within 24 hours: Conduct inventory of all TOTOLINK N600R routers in production and confirm firmware version status; segregate affected devices from critical network segments if feasible. …
