CVE-2023-46510Network attack vector

Unauthenticated code execution via setPasswordCfg command injection

Published Oct 27, 2023 · Updated Sep 12, 2024

OS command injection in TOTOLINK A7000R 4.1cu.4154 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code through the setPasswordCfg request handler. The public report identifies cig-bin/cstecgi.cgi and settings/setPasswordCfg but does not disclose the injected parameter or exact command-construction operation. The web interface is network reachable without authentication, and successful exploitation gives command execution on the router.
