DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was identified in Totolink A8000RU 7.1cu.643_b20200521. This vulnerability affects the function setPasswordCfg of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component Web Management Interface. Such manipulation of the argument admpass leads to os command injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used.

AnalysisAI

OS command injection in the Totolink A8000RU router (firmware 7.1cu.643_b20200521) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands by manipulating the admpass parameter sent to the setPasswordCfg function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. Publicly available exploit code exists and the flaw is reachable over the network without user interaction, though no public exploit identified at time of analysis indicates active in-the-wild abuse via CISA KEV.

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Reachability of the device's Web Management Interface (/cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi) over HTTP is the sole prerequisite - the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N) confirms no authentication, no user interaction, and no special attack requirements. … 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) scores 8.9 and reflects an unauthenticated, low-complexity network attack producing high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device - typically equivalent to root-level shell on the router. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker scanning the internet for Totolink A8000RU devices with exposed web management sends a single crafted HTTP POST to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi invoking setPasswordCfg with shell metacharacters embedded in the admpass argument, causing the injected commands to execute on the router. Because publicly available exploit code exists (https://github.com/Litengzheng/vuldb_new2/blob/main/A8000RU/vul_348/README.md), the attacker can drop a reverse shell, modify DNS, or enroll the router into a botnet without any prior credentials or user interaction.
Remediation No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the provided references include VulDB entries and a PoC but no Totolink firmware advisory or fixed version. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

24 hours: Conduct comprehensive inventory to identify all Totolik A8000RU devices in use; document firmware versions and network accessibility. …
