CVE-2023-51027Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via apcliAuthMode injection

Published Dec 22, 2023 · Updated Aug 2, 2024

Command injection in TOTOlink EX1800T 9.1.0cu.2112_B20220316 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via apcliAuthMode. The setWiFiExtenderConfig handler in cstecgi.cgi accepts the untrusted parameter as command input without neutralizing command separators. No authentication or user interaction is required; successful requests run attacker-supplied commands on the extender.
