CVE-2026-5176 is a command injection vulnerability in the Totolink A3300R router firmware version 17. 0. 0cu. 557_b20221024. The flaw exists in the setSyslogCfg function within the /cgi-bin/cstecgi. cgi file. An attacker can remotely manipulate input arguments to execute arbitrary commands on the device. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4. 0 base score of 6. 9, indicating medium severity.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects the Totolink A3300R router running firmware version 17.0.0cu.557_b20221024. The issue lies in the setSyslogCfg function of the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi script, where improper input validation allows remote attackers to perform command injection by manipulating the arguments passed to this function. The vulnerability can be exploited without authentication or user interaction, increasing its risk. The CVSS 4.0 vector indicates network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction required, and low to low integrity and availability impacts. No official patch or vendor advisory is currently provided, and the device is not a cloud service, so remediation depends on vendor updates or user action.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on the affected device, potentially leading to unauthorized control or disruption of the router's operation. The medium severity score reflects the risk of remote code execution without authentication. However, there are no confirmed reports of active exploitation in the wild at this time.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, users should consider limiting network exposure of the affected device, such as restricting remote management access. Monitor official Totolink communications for firmware updates addressing this vulnerability.
