Impact

This vulnerability presents moderate real-world risk based on converging signals. The CVSS score of 6.3 reflects network-accessible attack vector (AV:N) and low attack complexity (AC:L), but requires authenticated access (PR:L), which limits exposure to users with valid credentials on the device. The EPSS metric is not provided, but the E:P flag in the CVSS vector indicates proof-of-concept code exists publicly, increasing practical exploitability. Critically, publicly available exploit code on GitHub lowers the barrier to weaponization for attackers with basic shell scripting knowledge. The CVSS Reliability (RC:R) is rated as Reasonable, suggesting vulnerability details are confirmed. For router appliances, authenticated access often equates to local admin or compromised user account, but given typical home router usage patterns where default credentials are common or unchanged, the authenticated-only constraint provides limited real protection. This is a priority issue for any organization or user running A3300R firmware versions below the patched version.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An authenticated attacker with valid credentials to the Totolik A3300R web interface can navigate to the VPN configuration section or craft a direct HTTP request targeting /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi with a crafted pptpPassThru parameter containing shell metacharacters and commands. For example, a payload such as pptpPassThru=test;id; or pptpPassThru=$(whoami) would execute arbitrary shell commands with the privilege level of the CGI process. The publicly available GitHub exploit (https://github.com/LvHongW/Vuln-of-totolink_A3300R) provides a ready-to-use proof of concept that can automate this attack, significantly lowering the skill required for exploitation. Once command execution is achieved, an attacker can read sensitive configuration files, modify router settings, pivot to the local network, or establish persistence.

Monitor Track and reassess. Why: LOW severity (CVSS 0.1-3.9).

AnalysisAIv1 – Mar 30, 2026

Command injection in Totolink A3300R firmware version 17.0.0cu.557_b20221024 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via manipulation of the pptpPassThru parameter in the setVpnPassCfg function of /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.3 (medium severity) with network-accessible attack vector and low complexity; publicly available exploit code exists, making this an actionable threat for affected deployments.

RemediationAI

Immediately upgrade the Totolik A3300R firmware to the patched version released by the vendor. Patch availability and the specific fixed firmware version have not been independently confirmed from the provided references; however, users should visit https://www.totolik.net/ and check for firmware updates available for the A3300R model. Until a patch can be applied, restrict administrative access to the device by enforcing strong authentication credentials, disabling remote management interfaces if not required, and limiting access to the web management interface to trusted IP addresses only. Ensure the device is not exposed to untrusted networks without additional protective controls (e.g., VPN, firewall rules).

Technical ContextAI · show details

The vulnerability exists in the Parameter Handler component of Totolik A3300R router firmware, specifically within the CGI script cstecgi.cgi. The setVpnPassCfg function fails to properly sanitize the pptpPassThru parameter before passing it to system command execution, allowing injection of shell metacharacters. This is classified as CWE-77 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command), a command injection flaw in a CGI-based parameter processing routine. The attack targets the VPN configuration functionality, suggesting the vulnerable code path processes user-controlled input through shell invocation without adequate escaping or validation.
