Unauthenticated command execution via unescaped upgrade filename
Published Apr 13, 2026 · Updated Apr 13, 2026
OS command injection in TOTOLINK N300RH Firmware 6.1c.1353_B20190305 allows remote attackers to execute commands through FileName. The setUpgradeUboot handler reads FileName with websGetVar, inserts it into dd and mtd shell templates, and runs them through CsteSystem. No authentication or user interaction is required, and successful injection executes arbitrary operating-system commands as root on the router.
