Authenticated command execution via unsanitized Hostname
Published Jan 22, 2026 · Updated Jan 22, 2026
Command injection in TOTOLINK NR1800X Firmware 9.1.0u.6279_B20210910 allows remote authenticated users to execute shell commands. setWanCfg in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi passes the POST body's hostName value to doSystem without neutralizing shell metacharacters. Access requires a valid session cookie; injected commands run with the web-management service's privileges and can read or alter router data or interrupt service.
