CVE-2024-0579Network attack vector

Authenticated command execution via unsanitized macstr

Published Jan 16, 2024 · Updated Jun 3, 2025

OS command injection in TOTOLINK X2000R 1.0.0-B20221212.1452 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands via macstr. The formMapDelDevice handler uses the macstr request value in an operating-system command without neutralizing command syntax. A valid low-privilege session is required, and successful exploitation runs attacker-chosen commands on the router.
