Summary
CVE-2026-51675 is an incorrect access control vulnerability (CWE-284) in the setWanIeCfg function of the TOTOLINK T6 router’s web management interface. Unauthenticated attackers can send a crafted POST request to /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi to reconfigure the device’s WAN/uplink settings without providing credentials. The flaw carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1 (Critical).
Technical details
- Root cause: The
setWanIeCfgfunction fails to enforce authentication or session validation before processing requests that modify WAN uplink configuration. - Trigger condition: An attacker sends a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the
/cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgiendpoint invoking thesetWanIeCfgaction. - Attack vector: Network-based, requiring no user interaction and no privileges (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N).
- Impact: Unauthorized attackers can alter the router’s uplink/WAN configuration, resulting in high confidentiality and integrity impact; availability impact is not indicated in the scoring.
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-supplied patched firmware version is currently confirmed in public records for this vulnerability. Check TOTOLINK’s official firmware download page for the T6 model to confirm whether an updated build superseding 4.1.5cu.748_B20211015 has been released, and apply it as soon as it is available.
- If no patch is available: Restrict access to the router’s web management interface (
/cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi) to trusted internal networks only, disable remote/WAN-side management, and place the device behind a firewall or VPN so it is not directly reachable from the internet.
