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 'recvUpgradeNewFw' function in the '/cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi' component (Setting Handler). The vulnerability stems from improper neutralization of special elements in the 'fwUrl' and 'magicid' parameters, which are passed directly to a system shell. A remote attacker with low privileges can exploit this by sending a crafted POST request containing shell metacharacters (e.g., backticks) to execute arbitrary commands on the underlying Linux operating system. A public exploit demonstrating a telnet reverse shell is available.
