CVE-2025-55589 is a set of multiple OS command injection vulnerabilities identified in the TOTOLINK A3002R router firmware version 4.0.0-B20230531.1404. The vulnerabilities are exploitable via three parameters—macstr, bandstr, and clientoff—within the /boafrm/formMapDelDevice endpoint. OS command injection flaws allow an attacker to inject arbitrary operating system commands that the device executes with the privileges of the web server process, potentially leading to full system compromise. The affected endpoint appears to be part of the router's web management interface, which suggests that exploitation might be possible remotely if the interface is exposed or accessible within a local network. The lack of a CVSS score indicates this is a newly published vulnerability with limited public exploit information. No known exploits are reported in the wild yet. However, the presence of multiple injection points increases the attack surface and the likelihood of successful exploitation. The vulnerability affects a specific firmware version of the TOTOLINK A3002R, a consumer-grade router commonly used in home and small office environments. The absence of patch links suggests that no official fix has been released at the time of publication, emphasizing the need for immediate mitigation measures by users and administrators.

For European organizations, the exploitation of these OS command injection vulnerabilities could lead to severe consequences. Compromised routers can serve as entry points into corporate or home networks, enabling attackers to intercept, manipulate, or redirect network traffic, conduct man-in-the-middle attacks, or pivot to internal systems. This can result in data breaches, loss of confidentiality, and potential disruption of business operations. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and remote workers relying on TOTOLINK A3002R devices are particularly at risk. Additionally, compromised routers can be enlisted into botnets, amplifying distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks that may target critical infrastructure or services within Europe. Given the router’s role as a network gateway, the integrity and availability of network communications could be severely impacted, undermining trust and compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR.

Immediate mitigation steps include restricting access to the router’s web management interface by disabling remote management features and limiting access to trusted internal networks only. Users should change default credentials to strong, unique passwords to reduce the risk of unauthorized access. Network segmentation can help isolate vulnerable devices from critical assets. Monitoring network traffic for unusual patterns or signs of compromise is advisable. Since no official patches are currently available, users should regularly check for firmware updates from TOTOLINK and apply them promptly once released. As a temporary workaround, disabling or restricting the vulnerable endpoint (/boafrm/formMapDelDevice) via firewall rules or router configuration may reduce exposure. Organizations should also consider replacing affected devices with models known to have better security track records if timely patches are not forthcoming. Finally, educating users about the risks of exposing router management interfaces and encouraging best practices in device management will help mitigate exploitation risks.
