MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Defense Evasion The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | No authentication or special configuration is required - the vulnerability is present in the default firmware and exploitable by any attacker who can reach the router's web management interface on the local network or internet. Exploitation is limited strictly to read-only disclosure of IPTV and IGMP configuration parameters; it does not grant write access, shell access, or the ability to modify device configuration. Internet exposure of the management interface (port 80/443 on the WAN side) would broaden the attacker pool from LAN-local to fully remote. |
| Impact | The assigned CVSS 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/C:H/I:N/A:N) reflects network-reachable, unauthenticated information disclosure with no exploitation complexity. The C:H designation is arguably overstated for IPTV and IGMP configuration data - which contains multicast group addresses and proxy settings rather than authentication credentials or private keys - consistent with the same overstatement pattern observed in CVE-2026-51643 (NTP config, CVSS 9.1) and CVE-2026-51622 (WAN config). EPSS at 0.18% (7th percentile) signals negligible observed exploitation activity, and the absence of a CISA KEV listing confirms no known active campaigns. The attack path is trivially automatable (single unauthenticated POST with no complexity), which elevates theoretical risk, but the constrained impact ceiling - read-only IPTV/IGMP topology data - limits real-world consequence to reconnaissance utility. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker on the local network or reaching an internet-exposed management interface issues a single POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi specifying the getIptvCfg action, receiving a response containing IPTV server addresses, multicast group IDs, IGMP proxy settings, and VLAN configuration without any authentication challenge. This data is then used to map the internal multicast topology, identify IPTV service infrastructure, or facilitate targeted attacks against multicast-dependent services on the network. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 01, 2026
Unauthenticated IPTV and IGMP configuration disclosure in TOTOLINK T6 firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 allows any network-accessible attacker to retrieve multicast group settings, IPTV server parameters, and IGMP proxy configuration without credentials. The getIptvCfg function in the router's CGI web interface fails to enforce access control, accepting a crafted POST to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi and returning configuration data to unauthenticated callers. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS at 0.18% (7th percentile) indicates minimal current exploitation interest.
RemediationAI
Check the TOTOLINK T6 firmware download page at https://www.totolink.net/home/menu/detail/menu_listtpl/download/id/190/ids/36.html for a firmware update addressing this and related access-control deficiencies across the getIptvCfg and other CGI functions; no specific patched firmware version has been confirmed from the available references. If no updated firmware is available, restrict access to the router's web management interface by placing it on a dedicated, firewalled management VLAN inaccessible from the internet and untrusted LAN segments - this eliminates remote exploitation at the cost of requiring physical or jump-host access for administration. Disabling IPTV/IGMP-related features entirely via the router UI, if not operationally needed, removes the exposure surface without affecting core routing functionality.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The TOTOLINK T6 (firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015) exposes multiple configuration endpoints through a single CGI handler at /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. The getIptvCfg action retrieves IPTV settings - typically including multicast group addresses, IGMP version, IGMP proxy mode, and VLAN IDs used for IPTV service segregation. CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) identifies the root cause: the function returns sensitive configuration data without validating whether the caller is authenticated. IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) manages multicast group membership on LAN segments, and its configuration reveals internal network topology. The NVD CPE entry incorrectly uses the placeholder 'cpe:2.3:a:n/a:n/a:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*' rather than a correct TOTOLINK T6 identifier, consistent with a data-entry artifact seen across this CVE batch.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Incorrect access control in the getIptvCfg function of TOTOLINK T6 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain IPTV and IGMP configuration information via sending a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi.
Executive ViewAI
TOTOLINK T6 routers running firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 expose IPTV server addresses, multicast group assignments, and IGMP proxy settings to any network-adjacent attacker without authentication. This configuration disclosure could enable reconnaissance of multicast infrastructure, potentially facilitating downstream targeted attacks against IPTV or network services. Organizations should locate and restrict access to affected routers immediately.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: restrict all inbound network access to the CGI web interface via firewall rules and network segmentation; disable the web management interface if operationally feasible; confine router web access to dedicated administrative networks; monitor vendor advisories for firmware releases.
