8DescriptionCVE.org
A security vulnerability has been detected in Totolink A7100RU 7.4cu.2313_b20191024. This affects the function setIpQosRules of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component CGI Handler. The manipulation of the argument Comment leads to os command injection. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection in Totolink A7100RU router firmware 7.4cu.2313_b20191024 allows unauthenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary system commands via the Comment parameter in the setIpQosRules function exposed through /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. CVSS 8.9 (Critical) with network attack vector, low complexity, and no privileges required. Publicly available exploit code exists (GitHub POC published), significantly lowering the exploitation barrier for opportunistic attackers targeting vulnerable devices.
Technical ContextAI
This vulnerability resides in the CGI handler implementation of Totolink A7100RU consumer router firmware (CPE: cpe:2.3:a:totolink:a7100ru:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*), specifically in the setIpQosRules function responsible for IP Quality of Service configuration. The flaw represents CWE-78 (OS Command Injection), where inadequate input validation on the Comment parameter allows injection of shell metacharacters. When user-supplied data is passed unsanitized to system() or similar functions in the CGI script at /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi, arbitrary commands execute with the privileges of the web server process, typically root on embedded devices. This class of vulnerability is common in legacy router firmware where CGI scripts directly handle network-facing configuration endpoints without proper sanitization frameworks.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Users should immediately check Totolink's official support portal (https://www.totolink.net/) for firmware updates newer than 7.4cu.2313_b20191024 and apply them if available. As interim mitigations: (1) disable remote administration access to the router's web interface from WAN-side networks, restricting management to LAN-only access; (2) implement network-level access controls (firewall rules) to prevent untrusted networks from reaching the CGI interface on TCP ports 80/443; (3) if the device supports it, disable or restrict access to the vulnerable /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint specifically; (4) monitor router logs for suspicious POST requests to setIpQosRules function. Given the age of the affected firmware (2019) and lack of published vendor response, replacement with actively supported hardware may be the most reliable long-term solution for security-sensitive deployments.
