An issue was discovered in ToToLink A3300R firmware v17.0.0cu.557_B20221024 allowing attackers to execute arbitrary commands via the password parameter to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi.
AnalysisAI
Unauthenticated command injection in ToToLink A3300R firmware v17.0.0cu.557_B20221024 exposes the device's CGI management interface to arbitrary OS command execution via the password parameter at /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. The CVSS vector (PR:N, AV:N, AC:L, UI:N) confirms exploitation requires no credentials and no user interaction, making it scriptable against any Internet-exposed device. A public proof-of-concept exists on GitHub, and SSVC classifies the vulnerability as automatable with a PoC - though the EPSS score of 0.04% (12th percentile) suggests exploitation has not yet reached widespread real-world activity, likely reflecting the niche deployment footprint of this SOHO router model.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is classified as CWE-77 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements Used in a Command), the root cause class for command injection where attacker-controlled input is concatenated into an OS-level command string without sanitization. The affected component is /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi, a CGI binary embedded in the ToToLink A3300R firmware that processes web management requests. The password parameter - almost certainly part of the device's login or configuration handler - is passed unsanitized to a shell invocation, allowing shell metacharacters (e.g., semicolons, pipes, backticks) to break out of the intended command context. The CPE data provided is listed as n/a, which limits authoritative product enumeration, but the firmware version v17.0.0cu.557_B20221024 is explicitly named in the CVE description.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis for ToToLink A3300R firmware v17.0.0cu.557_B20221024. As an immediate compensating control, disable remote (WAN-side) web management on the device to prevent Internet-exposed exploitation - this eliminates the attack surface for external attackers, though it does not protect against LAN-side threats. Where feasible, place the router's management interface behind an ACL or restrict access to specific trusted IP addresses. Consider replacing the device with a supported model if ToToLink does not release a patched firmware, as embedded device vendors for SOHO equipment frequently abandon older hardware. Monitor the vendor site and the NVD advisory at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-31159 for patch availability. Disabling the CGI management interface entirely, if operationally viable, removes the vulnerable endpoint at the cost of losing web-based device administration.
