CVE-2026-5976: OS Command Injection in Totolink A7100RU
A security flaw has been discovered in Totolink A7100RU 7.4cu.2313_b20191024. This affects the function setStorageCfg of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component CGI Handler. Performing a manipulation of the argument sambaEnabled results in os command injection. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability involves an OS command injection in the Totolink A7100RU router firmware 7.4cu.2313_b20191024. Specifically, the setStorageCfg function in the CGI handler (/cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi) improperly handles the sambaEnabled parameter, enabling remote attackers to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands. The attack vector is network-based with no required privileges or user interaction, resulting in a high-severity risk. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 9.3, reflecting critical impact due to remote code execution potential. No official patch or remediation guidance has been provided by the vendor as of the publication date.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands on the affected device without authentication, potentially leading to full compromise of the router. This could enable attackers to control network traffic, intercept data, or launch further attacks within the network environment. The vulnerability is critical given the ease of exploitation and the high privileges gained.
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 disabling remote management features if possible and restrict network access to the device's management interface to trusted hosts only. Monitor vendor channels for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
