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 for exploitation beyond network-level reachability to the device's HTTP management interface on /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. The CVSS vector PR:N confirms no credentials or session are needed. Exploitation is limited by physical or network access to the device: if the management interface is not exposed to untrusted networks (e.g., WAN-side access is disabled and LAN access is restricted), exploitation is prevented. The specific firmware version 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 must be running; other versions are not confirmed affected by available data. No user interaction is required. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N) correctly reflects network-reachable, zero-authentication exploitation yielding high confidentiality impact, though integrity and availability are unaffected. The EPSS score of 0.18% at the 7th percentile indicates low current exploitation probability relative to other vulnerabilities - even a mid-sized municipal IT team in gniezno with TOTOLINK mesh deployments can temper urgency accordingly, prioritizing this below authenticated RCE or KEV-listed vulnerabilities. There is no CISA KEV listing. References include GitHub CVE coordination repositories suggesting researcher-level interest and possible POC development, but no weaponized exploit has been confirmed. The impact is limited to information disclosure: mesh routing topology data, which could aid an attacker in network reconnaissance but does not directly enable device takeover. Risk is elevated on devices exposed to untrusted networks or WAN interfaces without firewall restrictions. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker on the same network segment, or with access to an internet-exposed management interface, crafts a POST request targeting /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi with a body invoking the getMeshRoutingTable action. The device responds with full mesh routing table data without requiring any authentication token or session cookie. This data reveals the internal mesh topology, node addresses, and routing paths, which an attacker can use for targeted follow-on reconnaissance or lateral movement planning within the mesh network. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 01, 2026
Unauthenticated information disclosure in TOTOLINK T6 firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 exposes mesh routing table data through the getMeshRoutingTable CGI function. An attacker with network access to the device can send a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi and retrieve internal mesh routing topology without any credentials. No public exploit has been identified at time of analysis, and EPSS probability is low at 0.18%, though GitHub-hosted CVE coordination repositories suggest researcher awareness and POC development activity.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch with an explicit fixed firmware version has been identified at time of analysis. The vendor 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, network access to the device's management interface (/cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi) should be restricted using firewall rules to trusted management hosts only, preventing unauthenticated external access to the CGI handler. If the device supports disabling WAN-side management access, that setting should be enabled. Placing the device behind a network boundary that prevents untrusted clients from reaching port 80/443 on the device eliminates the network attack vector entirely. Monitor the TOTOLINK vendor site and the CVE coordination repositories at https://github.com/DarkBoulder/CVE-Vendor-Coordination/blob/main/TOTOLINK/README.md and https://github.com/ShengWu00/CVE-Vendor-Coordination/blob/main/TOTOLINK/README.md for patch announcements.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The TOTOLINK T6 is a mesh-capable wireless router running firmware version 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015. The affected endpoint is /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi, a common CGI handler used across TOTOLINK devices to dispatch management API calls. The getMeshRoutingTable function within this handler fails to enforce authentication or authorization checks before returning mesh routing information, matching CWE-284 (Improper Access Control). The root cause is not a parsing flaw but a missing access-control gate: the function responds to any POST request invoking it, regardless of session state or credentials. The CPE string in the NVD record uses the placeholder 'n/a:n/a' and does not accurately identify the product; the description and vendor references confirm the affected product is TOTOLINK T6.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
Incorrect access control in the getMeshRoutingTable function of TOTOLINK T6 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 allows unauthenticated attackers to obtain mesh routing information via sending a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi.
Executive ViewAI
Unauthenticated attackers can extract mesh routing topology data from unpatched TOTOLINK T6 firmware (version 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015) through the getMeshRoutingTable CGI function without credentials. Organizations deploying TOTOLINK T6 devices face exposure of internal network topology that could enable reconnaissance for lateral movement and targeted network attacks. This HIGH-severity vulnerability (CVSS 7.5) requires immediate inventory and mitigation planning, though current exploitation probability remains low at 0.2% EPSS.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Implement network segmentation and firewall rules to restrict access to the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint; isolate vulnerable devices to trusted network segments only; disable mesh CGI functions where operationally feasible; establish monitoring of TOTOLINK advisories for patch availability.
