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 special conditions are required beyond network reachability of the TOTOLINK T6 management interface. The vulnerability is present in the default firmware build 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 with no non-default configuration needed. CVSS PR:N confirms exploitation requires no authentication whatsoever. Exploitation is bounded by network topology: attackers must be able to reach /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi, which is typically LAN-side but may be WAN-exposed on misconfigured deployments. The impact is strictly limited to MAC address disclosure - no credentials, file system access, or remote code execution is obtained via this vulnerability alone. |
| Impact | CVSS 7.5 with AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N reflects a fully remote, zero-prerequisite network exploit with no integrity or availability impact. The C:H rating warrants scrutiny, however: the disclosed data is client MAC addresses - network-layer identifiers useful for reconnaissance and MAC-filtering bypass, but not credentials, session tokens, or personally identifiable data in the traditional sense. A more defensible independent rating would be C:L, indicating limited rather than high confidentiality impact. EPSS at 0.18% (7th percentile) signals very low near-term exploitation probability. There is no CISA KEV entry and no confirmed POC exploit code, only vendor-coordination GitHub links. The attack is fully automatable given AC:L/PR:N, meaning opportunistic scanning is feasible, but the narrow intelligence value of MAC addresses significantly constrains weaponization beyond initial network mapping. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An unauthenticated attacker with network access to the TOTOLINK T6 management interface sends a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi invoking the getStationMacByIp function. The router returns MAC addresses of connected clients without validating session state, allowing the attacker to enumerate all network devices. This information can then be used to spoof a trusted device's MAC address and bypass network access controls. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 01, 2026
Unauthenticated information disclosure in TOTOLINK T6 firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 exposes connected client MAC addresses to any remote attacker via the getStationMacByIp CGI function. The /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint processes crafted POST requests without enforcing any access control, returning MAC address data that can enable network reconnaissance and bypass of MAC-based access filtering. No confirmed active exploitation or CISA KEV listing exists, and EPSS probability is negligible at 0.18%, though the fully unauthenticated network vector makes automated scanning trivial.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. The TOTOLINK firmware download page (https://www.totolink.net/home/menu/detail/menu_listtpl/download/id/190/ids/36.html) should be checked for updated firmware releases. As a compensating control, restrict access to the router's CGI management interface by placing it on a management VLAN not reachable from untrusted network segments, or enable firewall rules blocking external access to TCP port 80/443 on the router's LAN interface if WAN-side exposure exists. Note that blocking the management interface entirely may prevent legitimate administration. MAC address filtering based on the disclosed data could be actively undermined, so relying on MAC filtering as a security control should be reconsidered until a patched firmware is available.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The TOTOLINK T6 is a consumer-grade wireless router exposing its management API via CGI at /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. The getStationMacByIp function, intended to resolve connected station MAC addresses from IP lookups, performs no authentication or authorization check before returning results. CWE-284 (Improper Access Control) identifies the root cause as a missing enforcement boundary at the API handler level - the function returns sensitive network-layer data to any caller regardless of session state. The affected firmware is version 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015. CPE metadata in NVD uses a placeholder (n/a:n/a) rather than a correct TOTOLINK T6 identifier, which reduces automated tracking fidelity.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Incorrect access control in the getStationMacByIp function of TOTOLINK T6 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain a client MAC address via sending a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi.
Executive ViewAI
TOTOLINK T6 routers running firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 expose connected device MAC addresses to unauthenticated remote attackers. Though no public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, the fully network-accessible vulnerability enables trivial reconnaissance and potential circumvention of MAC-based security filters affecting any organization using these devices.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement firewall-level access controls to block external traffic to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi and restrict the endpoint to trusted internal networks only. Disable remote CGI-based device management if operationally feasible. Deploy network intrusion detection alerting on suspicious requests to the getStationMacByIp function. Isolate affected routers on separate network segments from critical systems. Establish device replacement procedures for alternative router vendors with demonstrated security maintenance programs.
