| Exploitation Conditions | No special conditions are required beyond network reachability of the router's web management interface - the CVSS vector AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N confirms unauthenticated remote exploitation against the default-enabled HTTP interface on TOTOLINK T6 firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015. The specific limiting factor is that exploitation yields only remote-management port and enablement data, not credentials or direct control; meaningful damage requires chaining this with a follow-on attack against the disclosed service. Exposure is limited to devices where the router's management interface (port 80 or equivalent) is reachable from untrusted networks. |
| Impact | CVSS 7.5 (C:H) reflects unauthenticated network access with no complexity, but the actual confidentiality impact is moderate at best - the function discloses only remote-management enablement status and the listening port, not credentials or session material, which makes C:H a likely overstatement for this specific endpoint. EPSS at 0.18% (7th percentile) and SSVC exploitation status of 'none' both indicate no observed exploitation pressure despite the low barrier to attack. The SSVC 'Automatable: yes' classification is accurate, since the POST request structure is trivial to replicate at scale; even a mid-sized municipal IT team in radom running unpatched TOTOLINK devices on their perimeter should treat this as an enumeration risk enabling follow-on targeting of remote-administration services. The primary real-world risk is reconnaissance: an attacker who learns the remote-management port is open can pivot to credential-stuffing or interface exploitation against that service. No KEV listing and no public POC further reduce urgency, though the automatable nature means opportunistic mass-scanning is plausible. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker sends a crafted HTTP POST request to the router's publicly accessible /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint with parameters invoking getRemoteCfg. The router responds with its remote-management configuration including the enabled/disabled state and the listening port number. The attacker uses this information to confirm the remote management interface is active and to target it directly for credential attacks or known interface vulnerabilities. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 01, 2026
Unauthenticated remote-management configuration disclosure in TOTOLINK T6 firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 exposes whether remote administration is enabled and on which port, via a crafted POST to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi invoking the getRemoteCfg function. The root cause is CWE-284 incorrect access control - no authentication check gates the function before returning configuration data. No public exploit or KEV listing exists at time of analysis, but the endpoint is automatable per SSVC, making it trivial to mass-scan for affected devices.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch version has been identified in the available data at time of analysis. The TOTOLINK firmware download index (https://www.totolink.net/home/menu/detail/menu_listtpl/download/id/190/ids/36.html) should be monitored for updated firmware that addresses the getRemoteCfg access control omission. As a compensating control, disable remote management on the device if not operationally required - this eliminates the sensitivity of the disclosed configuration data. If remote management must remain enabled, restrict access to the router's web management interface (port 80/443 and the remote-management port) via upstream firewall rules or ACLs to trusted IP ranges only, preventing unauthenticated internet-facing enumeration of the endpoint. Note that restricting network access does not patch the underlying flaw and will not protect against LAN-side attackers.

Technical ContextAI · show details
TOTOLINK T6 is a consumer/SMB wireless router running firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015. Its web management interface is implemented via CGI binaries served from /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi, which dispatches function calls based on POST parameters. The getRemoteCfg function, responsible for returning remote-management enablement state and port settings, lacks any authentication enforcement (CWE-284 - Improper Access Control), allowing any network-reachable client to invoke it without credentials. The CPE data provided (cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a) is a known NVD placeholder and does not accurately represent the affected product; based on the description and vendor references, the correct product is the TOTOLINK T6 router. The vulnerability is structurally similar to other access-control omissions in this firmware series affecting getNtpCfg, getParentalRules, and getWanCfg endpoints.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Incorrect access control in the getRemoteCfg function of TOTOLINK T6 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain remote-management enablement and port information via sending a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi.
Executive ViewAI
TOTOLINK T6 routers are vulnerable to an unauthenticated configuration disclosure (CVE-2026-51650) that exposes remote administration settings to reconnaissance scans, enabling attackers to identify and target network management interfaces. With no public exploit identified at time of analysis but no available patches, this creates persistent organizational risk for businesses dependent on these devices for network infrastructure.
Disable remote administration if not operationally required; implement firewall rules restricting management interface access to whitelisted trusted IP addresses; deploy network segmentation to isolate affected routers from direct internet exposure; enable comprehensive access logging and alerting on management interface access attempts; monitor for mass scanning patterns indicating reconnaissance activity.
