Summary
CVE-2026-51672 is an incorrect access control (missing authentication) vulnerability in the getRoamingCfg function of the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi web management interface on TOTOLINK T6 routers running firmware 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015. It allows a remote, unauthenticated attacker to retrieve the device’s roaming enablement configuration flag. The flaw carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1 (Critical) due to its unauthenticated network exploitability, even though the disclosed data is limited to a single configuration flag.
Technical details
- Root cause: The
getRoamingCfgfunction withincstecgi.cgidoes not enforce session/authentication checks before returning configuration data (CWE-284, Improper Access Control). - Trigger conditions: An attacker sends a crafted HTTP POST request containing
{"topicurl":"getRoamingCfg"}to/cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgion the device’s exposed web management interface. - Attack vector: Network-based, requires no authentication and no user interaction; low attack complexity.
- Impact: Discloses the device’s roaming enablement flag to an unauthenticated remote party, resulting in a confidentiality impact; the CVE record indicates no impact to integrity or availability.
Affected software
- TOTOLINK T6 — firmware version 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015
Severity
- CVSS v3.1 Base Score: 9.1 (Critical)
- Vector:
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
Mitigation and recommended actions
- Immediate: No vendor-published patched firmware version has been confirmed for this specific CVE at time of writing; check TOTOLINK’s official download page for updated firmware for the T6 model and apply any available update.
- If no patch is available: Restrict access to the device’s web management interface (
/cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi) to trusted internal networks only; disable remote/WAN-facing management access; place management interfaces behind a VPN or firewall ACL; monitor for unauthenticated POST requests referencinggetRoamingCfg.
