MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) indicates network-accessible attack with low complexity but requiring low privileges (PR:L), reflecting an authenticated attack requirement. The presence of publicly available exploit code (E:P) significantly increases practical exploitation risk despite the moderate 6.3 base score. Real-world risk is elevated because: (1) the attack vector is network-based with low complexity, (2) authenticated access is required but may be achievable via default credentials or prior compromise, (3) public POC code removes the barrier to weaponization, and (4) impacts confidentiality, integrity, and availability equally. The combination of public POC availability, low attack complexity, and moderate impact (C:L/I:L/A:L) classifies this as a meaningful priority for organizations operating affected Totolik routers, particularly in environments where default or weak credentials are prevalent. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with valid credentials to a Totolik A3300R router (obtained via default credentials, credential stuffing, or prior compromise) accesses the device's web interface and submits a crafted request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi with a malicious payload in the rxRate parameter containing shell command injection syntax such as backticks or semicolon-delimited commands. The unfiltered input is passed directly to a system command, allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web service, potentially establishing a reverse shell, exfiltrating configuration data, or modifying router settings. Public exploit code on GitHub demonstrates this attack chain, reducing the skill barrier for attackers. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 31, 2026
Command injection in Totolink A3300R 17.0.0cu.557_b20221024 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via manipulation of the rxRate parameter in the setWiFiBasicCfg function at /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. The vulnerability has a CVSS score of 6.3 with publicly available exploit code, making it a moderate-priority issue for affected device administrators despite requiring prior authentication.
RemediationAI
Totolink administrators should immediately apply the latest firmware update available for the A3300R device from https://www.totolink.net/. Until patching is possible, restrict access to the device's web management interface to trusted networks only, change any default or weak administrative credentials, and consider disabling remote access to the CGI endpoints if the functionality is not required. The presence of publicly available exploit code makes this vulnerability a priority for urgent patching. Users should verify the firmware version installed and cross-reference against Totolink's security bulletins to confirm whether their specific build is patched.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability exists in the CGI endpoint /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi within Totolik A3300R firmware, specifically in the setWiFiBasicCfg function. The underlying issue is classified as CWE-77 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command), indicating that user-supplied input from the rxRate parameter is not properly sanitized before being used in command construction or execution. This is a classic command injection vulnerability where an attacker can inject shell metacharacters or commands that are then executed with the privileges of the web service process. The affected component manages WiFi configuration settings on this consumer-grade router device.
