Remote command execution via MQTT ipAddr injection
Published Jul 22, 2025 · Updated Jul 22, 2025
Command injection in TOTOLINK T6 firmware 4.1.5cu.748 allows remote authenticated users to execute commands via crafted MQTT packets. The wireless.so ckeckKeepAlive handler passes the MQTT ipAddr value through safe_cs_pub to tcpcheck_net, which embeds it in a tcpcheck system call without neutralizing command delimiters. Exploitation requires a nonzero mesh setting, an existing /var/meshInfo.ini file, and a valid MAC address; the published MQTT procedure creates the first two conditions remotely.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
