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. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Authenticated access to the Totolink A3002MU web management interface at /boafrm/formWlanSetup is required. The attacker must possess valid low-privileged credentials (PR:L) to the router's administrative panel. This typically requires either network-level access to reach the management interface (local LAN connectivity or exposed remote administration port) plus knowledge of administrator credentials. The vulnerability is exploitable against the specific firmware version B20211125.1046 of the A3002MU product when the WLAN setup configuration interface is accessible to authenticated users. |
| Impact | Real-world risk is moderate despite the high CVSS v4.0 score of 7.4. Multiple risk signals provide nuanced context: CVSS vector shows network-accessible attack (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) but requires low-privileged authentication (PR:L), preventing anonymous internet exploitation. SSVC framework rates this as having total technical impact but not automatable, requiring authenticated access to the router's management interface. EPSS probability of 0.08% (23rd percentile) indicates minimal observed exploitation activity in the wild, consistent with a vulnerability in legacy consumer networking equipment with limited deployment scale. The vulnerability is NOT in CISA KEV, confirming no confirmed active exploitation campaigns. While public exploit code exists (GitHub PoC), the authentication requirement and specificity to a single firmware version of a niche router product substantially limit attack surface. This is a legitimate vulnerability requiring remediation for affected deployments, but not a tier-1 priority compared to unauthenticated remote code execution vulnerabilities or those with confirmed active exploitation. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with valid credentials to the router's web management interface (obtained through credential theft, default password reuse, or social engineering) connects to the administrative panel over the local network or via exposed remote management ports. The attacker sends a specially crafted HTTP request to /boafrm/formWlanSetup containing an oversized 'wan-url' parameter exceeding the fixed stack buffer in function sub_410188. The overflow overwrites the stack return address, redirecting execution to attacker-controlled shellcode embedded in the request payload, achieving arbitrary code execution with router firmware privileges and enabling full device compromise. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 15, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in Totolink A3002MU router firmware B20211125.1046 allows authenticated remote attackers to execute arbitrary code via crafted 'wan-url' parameter in /boafrm/formWlanSetup endpoint. Publicly available exploit code exists (PoC on GitHub). EPSS score of 0.08% (23rd percentile) indicates low observed exploitation probability despite public exploit, likely due to authentication requirement (PR:L) and narrow attack surface of legacy consumer router product.
RemediationAI
Totolink has not released a patched firmware version for the A3002MU at the time of this analysis according to available data sources. Organizations using Totolink A3002MU routers with firmware B20211125.1046 should check the vendor website at https://www.totolink.net/ for updated firmware releases. Until a patch is available, implement network segmentation to restrict management interface access to trusted administration networks only, disable remote administration features if not required, enforce strong authentication credentials for administrative accounts, and monitor logs for suspicious authentication attempts or unusual configuration changes to /boafrm/formWlanSetup endpoints. Consider replacing affected devices with alternative router products if vendor support appears discontinued. Reference VulDB entry 357116 at https://vuldb.com/vuln/357116 for ongoing updates on patch availability.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability affects the formWlanSetup HTTP request handler in Totolink A3002MU wireless router firmware, specifically function sub_410188. This is a classic stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121) caused by insufficient bounds checking when processing the 'wan-url' parameter during WLAN configuration operations. The affected component is the router's web management interface at path /boafrm/formWlanSetup. Stack-based buffer overflows occur when more data is written to a fixed-size stack buffer than it can hold, potentially overwriting return addresses or function pointers stored on the stack, enabling control flow hijacking and arbitrary code execution. The CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:totolink:a3002mu confirms this affects Totolink's A3002MU product line, a consumer-grade wireless router typically used in small office/home environments.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A weakness has been identified in Totolink A3002MU B20211125.1046. Affected by this vulnerability is the function sub_410188 of the file /boafrm/formWlanSetup of the component HTTP Request Handler. This manipulation of the argument wan-url causes stack-based buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been made available to the public and could be used for attacks.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-6194 is a stack-based buffer overflow in Totolik A3002MU router firmware that enables authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code on affected devices. Organizations using this legacy router model face remote code execution risk; however, exploitation requires valid user credentials and affects a narrow installed base of older consumer-grade equipment.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Enforce strong authentication credentials for router administrative access; (2) Disable remote management of router; (3) Restrict WAN-side access to router administration interface using firewall rules; (4) Implement network segmentation to isolate affected router from critical systems; (5) Monitor router logs for suspicious 'wan-url' parameter submissions to /boafrm/formWlanSetup endpoint.
