Unauthenticated command execution via devicemac injection
Published Aug 18, 2025 · Updated Aug 18, 2025
Command injection in TOTOLINK A3002R 4.0.0-B20230531.1404 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary OS commands via devicemac. The formMapDel handler passes the devicemac value to system() without neutralizing shell metacharacters, as demonstrated by creation of /tmp/hacked. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful requests execute commands on the affected router.
