CVE-2026-7155: OS Command Injection in Totolink A8000RU
CVE-2026-7155 is a critical OS command injection vulnerability in the Totolink A8000RU router firmware version 7.1cu.643_b20200521. The flaw exists in the CGI Handler component, specifically in the setLoginPasswordCfg function of the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi file. An attacker can remotely manipulate the 'admpass' argument to execute arbitrary OS commands. The vulnerability has been publicly disclosed, but no official patch or remediation guidance is currently available from the vendor. Exploits are not known to be observed in the wild at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
This vulnerability allows remote attackers to perform OS command injection via the 'admpass' parameter in the setLoginPasswordCfg function of the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi CGI handler on Totolink A8000RU devices running firmware 7.1cu.643_b20200521. The issue arises from insufficient input validation, enabling execution of arbitrary system commands without authentication. The CVSS 4.0 base score is 9.3, reflecting high impact and ease of exploitation without privileges or user interaction. No official patch or vendor advisory is currently available, and the device is not a cloud service.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to execute arbitrary operating system commands on the affected device, potentially leading to full compromise of the router. This could result in unauthorized control, data interception, or disruption of network services. The vulnerability is critical due to its remote, unauthenticated nature and high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
Mitigation Recommendations
Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. Until an official fix is released, affected users should consider disabling remote management interfaces if possible or restricting access to trusted networks. Monitor vendor communications for updates and apply patches promptly once available.
