CVE-2025-60683 is a command injection vulnerability identified in the ToToLink A720R Router firmware version 4.1.5cu.614_B20230630. The vulnerability resides within the sysconf binary, specifically in the sub_40BFA4 function responsible for network interface reinitialization. This function processes input from the file '/var/system/linux_vlan_reinit'. The vulnerability arises because input validation is incomplete: it only verifies the prefix of interface names but fails to sanitize or escape the input before concatenating it into shell commands executed via the system() call. This improper handling allows an attacker who has write access to the '/var/system/linux_vlan_reinit' file to inject arbitrary shell commands, which the router executes with the privileges of the sysconf process. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-77 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command). The CVSS v3.1 base score is 6.5, indicating medium severity, with attack vector Network (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), and impacts on confidentiality and integrity (C:L/I:L) but no availability impact (A:N). Although no public exploits are currently known, the vulnerability could be exploited remotely if an attacker can write to the specified file, which may be possible through other vulnerabilities or misconfigurations. The lack of authentication requirements and user interaction increases the risk. The vulnerability could allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands, potentially leading to information disclosure or unauthorized configuration changes. No official patches or updates have been linked yet, so mitigation relies on access control and monitoring.

For European organizations, exploitation of this vulnerability could lead to unauthorized command execution on affected ToToLink A720R routers, compromising the confidentiality and integrity of network configurations and potentially exposing sensitive information. Attackers could manipulate network interfaces or inject malicious configurations, leading to network disruptions or facilitating further attacks within the internal network. Although availability impact is not directly indicated, indirect effects such as network instability or denial of service could occur if attackers misuse the device. Organizations relying on these routers for critical network infrastructure could face operational risks and data breaches. The medium severity score reflects the moderate but significant risk, especially in environments where the router is accessible or poorly secured. Since the vulnerability requires write access to a specific system file, the risk is higher in environments with weak internal access controls or where attackers have already gained footholds. European entities with extensive deployments of ToToLink devices, especially in small to medium enterprises or home office setups, may be particularly vulnerable if devices are not updated or properly secured.

1. Immediately restrict write permissions to the '/var/system/linux_vlan_reinit' file to trusted system processes and administrators only, preventing unauthorized modification. 2. Implement network segmentation and firewall rules to limit access to the router's management interfaces, reducing exposure to potential attackers. 3. Monitor router logs and file integrity for unexpected changes to critical system files, including '/var/system/linux_vlan_reinit'. 4. If possible, disable or restrict the sysconf binary's ability to execute system commands or isolate its execution environment to limit command injection impact. 5. Engage with ToToLink support or vendor channels to obtain firmware updates or patches addressing this vulnerability as soon as they become available. 6. Conduct regular security audits and vulnerability scans on network devices to detect misconfigurations or unauthorized access. 7. Educate network administrators on secure configuration practices and the risks of command injection vulnerabilities. 8. Consider replacing affected routers with models from vendors with stronger security track records if timely patches are unavailable.
