Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was found in Totolink A8000RU 7.1cu.643_b20200521. Impacted is the function setOpenVpnCfg of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component Web Management Interface. The manipulation of the argument enabled results in os command injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.
AnalysisAI
Remote OS command injection in TOTOLINK A8000RU router firmware 7.1cu.643_b20200521 allows unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the setOpenVpnCfg function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi by manipulating the 'enabled' argument. Publicly available exploit code exists, raising the risk of opportunistic attacks against exposed devices, though EPSS scoring (0.89%, 76th percentile) suggests moderate but not yet widespread exploitation. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | The attacker must be able to reach the TOTOLINK A8000RU Web Management Interface at the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint over the network - no authentication, user interaction, or special privileges are required (CVSS PR:N/UI:N/AT:N). … 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) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity, unauthenticated exploitation with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability - yielding a score of 8.9. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | An attacker who can reach the router's Web Management Interface (either via a misconfigured WAN-exposed admin port or from a compromised host on the LAN) sends an HTTP POST to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi targeting the setOpenVpnCfg handler with a malicious 'enabled' parameter containing shell metacharacters. Because public PoC code exists and the SSVC framework labels the attack as automatable, exploitation can be scripted at scale against shodan-discoverable devices, granting the attacker root-level command execution on the router for persistent network pivoting, DNS hijacking, or botnet enrollment. |
| Remediation | No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - TOTOLINK has not published an advisory or fixed firmware version in the available references. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
Recommended ActionAI
