Threat metrics

Exploit Maturity: POC

Bold values are the worst case: easiest to exploit or largest impact.

Attack Vector: Network: The vulnerable system is bound to the network stack and the set of possible attackers extends beyond the other options listed below, up to and including the entire Internet. Such a vulnerability is often termed “remotely exploitable” and can be thought of as an attack being exploitable at the protocol level one or more network hops away (e.g., across one or more routers).
Attack Complexity: Low: The attacker must take no measurable action to exploit the vulnerability. The attack requires no target-specific circumvention to exploit the vulnerability. An attacker can expect repeatable success against the vulnerable system.
Attack Requirements: None: The successful attack does not depend on the deployment and execution conditions of the vulnerable system. The attacker can expect to be able to reach the vulnerability and execute the exploit under all or most instances of the vulnerability.
Privileges Required: Low: The attacker requires privileges that provide basic capabilities that are typically limited to settings and resources owned by a single low-privileged user. Alternatively, an attacker with Low privileges has the ability to access only non-sensitive resources.
User Interaction: None: The vulnerable system can be exploited without interaction from any human user, other than the attacker.
Vulnerable system confidentiality: Low: There is some loss of confidentiality. Access to some restricted information is obtained, but the attacker does not have control over what information is obtained, or the amount or kind of loss is limited. The information disclosure does not cause a direct, serious loss to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system integrity: Low: Modification of data is possible, but the attacker does not have control over the consequence of a modification, or the amount of modification is limited. The data modification does not have a direct, serious impact to the Vulnerable System.
Vulnerable system availability: Low: Performance is reduced or there are interruptions in resource availability. Even if repeated exploitation of the vulnerability is possible, the attacker does not have the ability to completely deny service to legitimate users. The resources in the Vulnerable System are either partially available all of the time, or fully available only some of the time, but overall there is no direct, serious consequence to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system confidentiality: None: There is no loss of confidentiality within the Subsequent System or all confidentiality impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system integrity: None: There is no loss of integrity within the Subsequent System or all integrity impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Subsequent system availability: None: There is no impact to availability within the Subsequent System or all availability impact is constrained to the Vulnerable System.
Exploit Maturity: POC: Based on threat intelligence sources each of the following must apply: · Proof-of-concept is publicly available · No knowledge of reported attempts to exploit this vulnerability · No knowledge of publicly available solutions used to simplify attempts to exploit the vulnerability

Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 8 Feb 2026
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponised: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation

No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 2026-10-25.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponised: Public exploit code exists in Metasploit or Exploit-DB, or CISA SSVC reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

AI-suggested

1. Immediate mitigation should focus on isolating affected Totolink WA300 devices from untrusted networks, especially the internet, to reduce exposure to remote attacks. 2. Network administrators should implement strict firewall rules to block access to the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint or restrict access to trusted management IP addresses only. 3. Monitor network traffic for unusual requests targeting the setAPNetwork function or suspicious command injection patterns. 4. Engage with Totolink support or check official vendor channels regularly for firmware updates or patches addressing this vulnerability. 5. 6. Employ intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures for known exploits targeting this vulnerability. 7. Educate users and administrators about the risks of exposing management interfaces to public networks and enforce strong network access controls. 8. Regularly audit device firmware versions and configurations to ensure compliance with security best practices.

Description

A vulnerability was detected in Totolink WA300 5.2cu.7112_B20190227. The impacted element is the function setAPNetwork of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. The manipulation of the argument Ipaddr results in os command injection. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit is now public and may be used.

Impact

The exploitation of CVE-2026-2167 can lead to unauthorized remote code execution on affected Totolink WA300 devices, enabling attackers to take control of the router. This can result in several adverse impacts including interception or manipulation of network traffic, disruption of network availability, and use of the compromised device as a foothold for lateral movement within the network. Confidentiality may be compromised if attackers access sensitive network data or credentials stored or passing through the device. Integrity and availability impacts arise from potential device configuration changes or denial of service conditions caused by malicious commands. Organizations relying on these routers for critical connectivity, especially in small office or home office environments, may face operational disruptions. The medium CVSS score reflects the moderate but tangible risk, especially given the ease of remote exploitation without authentication. The presence of a public exploit increases the likelihood of opportunistic attacks, particularly targeting unpatched devices exposed to the internet or untrusted networks.
