CVE-2024-7173Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Memory corruption via unchecked login parameters

Published Jul 28, 2024 · Updated Aug 1, 2024

Buffer overflow in TOTOLINK A3600R 4.1.2cu.5182_B20201102 allows remote authenticated users to corrupt memory through loginauth. The /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi handler processes attacker-controlled password or http_host input without enforcing a safe buffer length. Low-privileged access is required; successful exploitation can crash the router or execute code in its context.
