TOTOLINK T10, Buffer Overflow, CVE-2025-5901 (Critical)

Listen to this Post

How the CVE Works

The vulnerability in TOTOLINK T10 (4.1.8cu.5207) resides in the `UploadCustomModule` function within /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi. A buffer overflow occurs when handling the `File` parameter in POST requests due to insufficient bounds checking. Attackers can remotely exploit this by sending a crafted payload, leading to arbitrary code execution or system crashes. The flaw stems from improper input validation, allowing an attacker to overwrite adjacent memory regions. Publicly disclosed exploits increase the risk of widespread attacks.
