MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | This vulnerability presents severe real-world risk across multiple dimensions: (1) CVSS Vector Analysis - AV:N/AC:L/PR:L indicates network-accessible exploitation with low complexity requiring only low-level authentication (standard user credentials), maximizing practical attack surface; (2) Impact Severity - The C:H/I:H/A:H triple indicates complete system compromise including code execution potential; (3) Exploitation Status - Public disclosure of exploit code combined with low attack complexity and authenticated-but-not-admin requirements dramatically increases real-world exploitation probability; (4) Device Context - TOTOLIK routers are home/SMB-grade networking devices with typically weak default credentials and poor patch management, making authenticated access trivial; (5) SSVC Considerations - While PR:L reduces severity versus unauthenticated attacks, the automatable nature of buffer overflow exploitation and the widespread vulnerable firmware version create urgent priority. This is NOT a low-real-risk scenario despite moderate CVSS: it represents high exploitation probability in active deployments. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with low-privilege access to a TOTOLIK T10 network (e.g., guest WiFi user, weak credentials) crafts an HTTP POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi targeting the setWiFiScheduleCfg function. The attacker supplies a deliberately oversized 'desc' parameter (typically hundreds of bytes) exceeding the stack buffer size, overwriting adjacent memory. If successful, this overwrites function return pointers or heap metadata, allowing arbitrary code execution with router privileges. Given public exploit availability, this attack is highly automatable—an attacker could scan networks for vulnerable T10 devices (identifiable by default response headers/UPnP announcements) and deploy exploitation toolkit automatically. Timeline: initial compromise to complete router control achievable in seconds. Impact: router becomes bot-infected, enabling man-in-the-middle attacks, DNS hijacking, or use as pivot point into internal networks. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 14, 2026
Critical buffer overflow vulnerability in TOTOLINK T10 firmware version 4.1.8cu.5207 affecting the setWiFiScheduleCfg function in the HTTP POST request handler. An authenticated remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by manipulating the 'desc' parameter to achieve buffer overflow, resulting in complete compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability. A public exploit has been disclosed and the vulnerability is likely actively exploited given its critical CVSS score of 8.8 and low attack complexity.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability exists in the TOTOLINK T10 router's CGI-based HTTP request handler (/cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi). The setWiFiScheduleCfg function fails to properly validate or bound-check user-supplied input in the 'desc' parameter before copying it into a fixed-size buffer, creating a classic stack-based or heap-based buffer overflow condition classified under CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer). This is a common vulnerability class in embedded device firmware where C-based CGI handlers lack modern memory safety protections. The HTTP POST request handler processes administrative configuration requests, making this endpoint a natural attack surface for authenticated users or those who can bypass authentication.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability classified as critical has been found in TOTOLINK T10 4.1.8cu.5207. Affected is the function setWiFiScheduleCfg of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component HTTP POST Request Handler. The manipulation of the argument desc leads to buffer overflow. It is possible to launch the attack remotely. The exploit has been disclosed to the public and may be used.
Executive ViewAI
A publicly disclosed remote code execution vulnerability affects TOTOLIK T10 routers (version 4.1.8cu.5207), allowing attackers to compromise network infrastructure without authentication. Organizations using this device model face immediate risk of network breach, data exfiltration, and lateral movement into connected systems, with no vendor patch currently available.
Within 24 hours: Inventory all TOTOLINK T10 devices in production and isolate affected units from critical networks if possible. Within 7 days: Implement network segmentation to restrict administrative access to these devices, apply WAF rules blocking POST requests to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi with oversized 'desc' parameters, and disable WiFi scheduling features if operationally feasible. Within 30 days: Replace affected devices with patched alternatives or models from vendors with active security support, and conduct network forensics to detect any prior exploitation.
Implement Web Application Firewall rules to block POST requests to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi with abnormally large 'desc' parameter payloads; restrict network access to administrative interfaces using IP whitelisting and network segmentation; disable the WiFi schedule configuration feature via device settings if operationally acceptable; monitor device logs for suspicious setWiFiScheduleCfg requests; consider placing affected devices behind a reverse proxy with input validation.

SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
Attack Technique
A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
Remote Code Execution represents the critical moment when an attacker successfully runs arbitrary code on a target system without physical access.
