Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the Totolink A8000RU router (firmware version 7.1cu.643_b20200521) within the 'setTracerouteCfg' function of the '/cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi' component. The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of the 'command' argument, which is passed to 'snprintf' and subsequently executed via 'execv' through the 'CsteSystem' function. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this by sending a crafted POST request containing shell metacharacters in the JSON payload. Successful exploitation grants the attacker full root-level command execution on the underlying Linux operating system. Public exploit code (PoC) has been disclosed.
