CVE-2026-5975: OS Command Injection in Totolink A7100RU
CVE-2026-5975 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability in the Totolink A7100RU router firmware version 7. 4cu. 2313_b20191024. The flaw exists in the setDmzCfg function within the /cgi-bin/cstecgi. cgi CGI handler, where improper handling of the wanIdx argument allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands. The vulnerability can be exploited without authentication and user interaction. Although an exploit is publicly available, there is no confirmed patch or official remediation guidance at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability affects Totolink A7100RU firmware 7.4cu.2313_b20191024. The setDmzCfg function in the CGI handler improperly sanitizes the wanIdx parameter, enabling remote attackers to perform OS command injection. This allows execution of arbitrary commands on the device with no privileges or user interaction required. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 9.3, indicating a critical severity with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges or user interaction needed, and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. No vendor advisory or patch information is currently available.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the affected device, potentially leading to full compromise of the router. This can result in unauthorized control, data exposure, or disruption of network services. The vulnerability is critical due to its ease of exploitation and high impact on device security.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is available, restrict access to the device's management interface from untrusted networks and monitor for suspicious activity. Avoid exposing the device's CGI interfaces to the internet. Follow vendor updates closely for any released patches or mitigations.
