Authenticated command execution via crafted port value
Published May 14, 2024 · Updated Feb 13, 2025
Command injection in TOTOLINK X5000R 9.1.0cu.2350_B20230313 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands via a crafted port value. The setSSServer handler in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi places the attacker-controlled port field into a command context without neutralizing shell metacharacters. Access requires management-interface login; successful exploitation runs supplied shell commands with the CGI process's privileges.
