Authenticated command execution via password-setting parameters
Published May 25, 2026 · Updated May 25, 2026
OS command injection in TOTOLINK CA750-PoE 6.2c.510 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary commands through its web interface. The setPasswordCfg handler in /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi passes attacker-controlled admuser and admpass values from a JSON request into operating-system command execution without neutralizing shell metacharacters. A valid low-privilege session cookie is required; successful injection can start a root shell service and gives control of the appliance.
