MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit Totolik A7100RU firmware version 7.4cu.2313_b20191024 by sending a crafted request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi with malicious input in the addrPrefixLen parameter of setIpv6LanCfg function. No authentication, special configuration, or user interaction required. |
| Impact | Critical unauthenticated remote code execution via OS command injection in Totolink A7100RU CGI handler. CVSS 9.8 reflects maximum severity: network-accessible, no authentication required, immediate system compromise. Public exploit availability accelerates organizational risk. Firmware devices with limited patching cycles warrant immediate isolation or replacement. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | Attacker sends HTTP request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi with malicious payload in addrPrefixLen parameter, injecting OS commands that execute with device privileges. Publicly available exploit code exists enabling trivial weaponization. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 09, 2026
OS command injection in Totolink A7100RU router version 7.4cu.2313_b20191024 enables unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands via crafted addrPrefixLen parameter in setIpv6LanCfg function of /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi CGI handler. CVSS 9.8 critical severity reflects network-accessible attack vector requiring no privileges or user interaction, with complete confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Publicly available exploit code exists.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Check Totolink official support page (https://www.totolink.net/) for firmware updates beyond October 2019 build. Immediate mitigations: disable IPv6 configuration interface if not operationally required; restrict administrative access to CGI interface via firewall rules permitting only trusted management networks; implement network segmentation isolating vulnerable devices from untrusted networks. Deploy intrusion detection signatures monitoring for command injection patterns targeting /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint. Given publicly available exploit code (https://github.com/Litengzheng/vuldb_new/blob/main/A7100RU/vul_159/README.md) and critical CVSS score, prioritize device replacement if vendor discontinues support for affected firmware branch.

Technical ContextAI · show details
CWE-78 OS command injection vulnerability originates from insufficient input validation in setIpv6LanCfg CGI function handling IPv6 LAN configuration parameters. The addrPrefixLen argument accepts unsanitized user input, allowing shell metacharacter injection that executes commands under web server privileges. Attack vector exploits CGI handler's direct system call invocation without parameter escaping or whitelisting.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A security vulnerability has been detected in Totolink A7100RU 7.4cu.2313_b20191024. Affected by this vulnerability is the function setIpv6LanCfg of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component CGI Handler. Such manipulation of the argument addrPrefixLen leads to os command injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.
Executive ViewAI
Totolink A7100RU router (version 7.4cu.2313_b20191024 and likely earlier) contains an unauthenticated remote command injection vulnerability accessible via the web interface, allowing attackers to gain complete control of affected devices without credentials. Organizations deploying this router model face immediate risk of network compromise, data exfiltration, and lateral movement into internal infrastructure.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Disable WAN-side access to the router's web interface; (2) restrict CGI handler access via firewall rules to authorized administrators only; (3) deploy network-based detection for HTTP POST requests targeting /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi with addrPrefixLen parameters; (4) segment router from internal systems using VLAN isolation; (5) monitor router logs and network traffic for suspicious command execution patterns.
