Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5)AI

prevent

Directly prevents OS command injection by requiring validation and sanitization of inputs like the 'enable' argument to the vulnerable setAppCfg CGI function.

prevent

Addresses the specific flaw in Totolink A7100RU firmware through timely risk-based remediation such as patching.

prevent

Enforces logical access authorizations to block unauthenticated remote access to the vulnerable /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint.

Security SummaryAI

CVE-2026-6115 is an OS command injection vulnerability affecting the Totolink A7100RU router on firmware version 7.4cu.2313_b20191024. The issue exists in the setAppCfg function of the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi file within the CGI Handler component, where manipulation of the "enable" argument enables attackers to inject and execute arbitrary operating system commands.

The vulnerability is exploitable remotely by unauthenticated attackers requiring no privileges, low complexity, and no user interaction, earning a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). Successful exploitation allows high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially granting full control over the affected device.

Advisories from VulDB detail the remote exploitability and reference a published proof-of-concept on GitHub. Practitioners should consult the Totolink website and VulDB entries for any firmware updates or mitigation guidance, as an exploit is publicly available.
