Technical details

An OS command injection vulnerability exists in the Totolink CA750-PoE router running firmware version 6.2c.510. The flaw is located within the 'setUnloadUserData' function in the 'cstecgi.cgi' binary (specifically within the upgrade.so library). The 'plugin_version' parameter is improperly sanitized before being passed to a system shell, allowing an authenticated attacker to inject arbitrary commands using backticks or shell metacharacters. A public exploit exists demonstrating the ability to start a telnet daemon with root shell access. The attack is reachable over the network, though it typically requires low-level authentication.
