Authenticated code execution via unchecked ip formatting
Published Jul 17, 2025 · Updated Jul 18, 2025
Buffer overflow in TOTOLINK T6 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via a crafted HTTP POST request. In setDiagnosisCfg, sprintf formats the attacker-controlled ip value into the command buffer without a length check, overwriting the saved return address. Access to the router management handler is required; successful exploitation can start telnetd and expose a remote shell.
