CVE-2026-5677Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Unauthenticated command execution via unsanitized resetFlags

Published Apr 6, 2026 · Updated Apr 6, 2026

OS command injection in TOTOLINK A7100RU 7.4cu.2313_b20191024 allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands via a crafted CGI request. The sub_42356C handler inserts resetFlags into a command buffer with snprintf, after which CsteSystem passes the resulting command to execv without neutralizing command syntax. Network access to the router's CGI service is sufficient under the CNA assessment, and successful exploitation runs commands with the CGI process's privileges.
