CVE-2025-60334 is a stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability affecting TOTOLINK N600R routers running firmware version 4.3.0cu.7866_B20220506. The vulnerability resides in the setWiFiBasicConfig function, where the ssid parameter is not properly validated, allowing an attacker to overflow the stack by sending a specially crafted SSID value. This overflow can lead to a denial of service (DoS) by crashing the device or causing it to become unresponsive. The attack vector is network-based (AV:N), requiring no privileges (PR:N) and no user interaction (UI:N), making it remotely exploitable by unauthenticated attackers. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 7.5, reflecting high severity primarily due to the ease of exploitation and the impact on availability. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-121, indicating a classic stack buffer overflow issue. No patches or known exploits are currently available, increasing the urgency for affected users to implement interim mitigations. The flaw does not compromise confidentiality or integrity but can disrupt network operations by taking down critical routing infrastructure.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to network availability, particularly for small and medium enterprises or branch offices relying on TOTOLINK N600R routers. A successful exploit can cause network outages, interrupting business operations, communications, and access to cloud or internal resources. Critical infrastructure or service providers using these devices could face operational disruptions, potentially affecting end-users and customers. The lack of authentication and user interaction requirements means attackers can launch attacks remotely and at scale, increasing the threat surface. Although no data breach or integrity compromise is expected, the denial of service can indirectly affect business continuity and service level agreements. Organizations in sectors such as finance, healthcare, and manufacturing, where network uptime is crucial, may experience operational and reputational damage.

1. Immediately isolate TOTOLINK N600R devices from untrusted networks and disable any remote management interfaces to reduce exposure. 2. Implement strict network segmentation to limit access to router management interfaces only to trusted administrators. 3. Monitor network traffic and device logs for unusual SSID configuration attempts or repeated crashes indicating exploitation attempts. 4. Use network intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with custom signatures to detect malformed SSID packets targeting this vulnerability. 5. Contact TOTOLINK support for firmware updates or patches and apply them as soon as they become available. 6. Consider replacing affected devices with alternative routers from vendors with active security support if patching is delayed. 7. Educate network administrators about this vulnerability and enforce strong change management policies to prevent unauthorized configuration changes. 8. Maintain regular backups of router configurations to enable quick recovery after an incident.
