Description
TOTOLINK X5000R firmware version 9.1.0cu.2089_B20211224 contains a command injection vulnerability in the cstecgi.cgi CGI handler. The exportOvpn functionality improperly processes attacker-controlled request parameters and incorporates them into shell commands executed via system() without adequate input validation or sanitization. An authenticated attacker can supply crafted parameters to inject and execute arbitrary commands with the privileges of the web management service. Exploitation evidence was first observed by the Shadowserver Foundation on 2025-06-11 (UTC).
