Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was found in Totolink A8000RU 7.1cu.643_b20200521. This vulnerability affects the function setDiagnosisCfg of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component Web Management Interface. The manipulation of the argument ip results in os command injection. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used.
AnalysisAI
OS command injection in the Totolink A8000RU router (firmware 7.1cu.643_b20200521) allows remote unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands via the ip parameter handled by the setDiagnosisCfg function in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the CVSS 4.0 score of 8.9 reflects high impact across confidentiality, integrity, and availability. EPSS is moderate at 0.89% (76th percentile), and the vulnerability is not currently listed in CISA KEV.
Technical ContextAI
The Totolink A8000RU is a consumer/SMB wireless router whose web management interface is implemented as CGI binaries served via /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. The setDiagnosisCfg handler is part of the network diagnostics functionality and accepts an 'ip' argument intended for ping/traceroute-style operations, but the value is passed to an underlying shell/system invocation without sufficient sanitization. This is a classic CWE-78 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command) flaw, where shell metacharacters injected into the ip field are interpreted by the OS shell, granting code execution in the context of the web server process - typically root on embedded Linux router firmware. The single affected CPE (cpe:2.3:a:totolink:a8000ru:*) confirms the issue is scoped to this specific router model and firmware build.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the references include only the vendor homepage (https://www.totolink.net/) and VulDB/EUVD/NVD entries, with no firmware update advisory. Until Totolink publishes a fixed firmware build, operators should restrict access to the web management interface to trusted LAN segments only, explicitly disable any 'Remote Management' or WAN-side admin feature on the A8000RU (trade-off: loss of remote configuration capability), and block inbound traffic to the router's HTTP/HTTPS admin ports at any upstream firewall. Where feasible, block or filter requests to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi from untrusted networks via an intermediate proxy or firewall rule (trade-off: may break legitimate management workflows that traverse that path). Monitor the vendor site and VulDB entry https://vuldb.com/vuln/365347 for a patched firmware release, and consider replacing the device with a supported model if no fix is forthcoming.
