## Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the Totolink CA750-PoE firmware version 6.2c.510. The flaw is located within the 'setPasswordCfg' function in the '/cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi' binary (specifically within the 'system.so' library). The application fails to properly sanitize the 'admuser' and 'admpass' parameters before passing them to a system shell. A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this by sending a specially crafted POST request containing shell metacharacters (e.g., backticks) to execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web server. A public proof-of-concept demonstrating the ability to start a telnet backdoor has been released.
