Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE-2025-28137 is a critical vulnerability discovered in the TOTOLINK A810R V4.1.2cu.5182_B20201026, a popular wireless router model. The device was found to contain a pre-authentication remote command execution vulnerability in the setNoticeCfg function through the NoticeUrl parameter. The implications of this vulnerability<\/a> are severe as it allows an attacker to execute arbitrary commands on a vulnerable device without requiring any form of authentication. This vulnerability has been rated as critical<\/a> due to its high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability.<\/p>\n

Vulnerability Summary<\/strong><\/p>\n

CVE ID: CVE-2025-28137
\nSeverity: Critical (9.8 CVSS Score)
\nAttack Vector: Network
\nPrivileges Required: None
\nUser Interaction: None
\nImpact: Potential system<\/a> compromise and data leakage<\/p>\n

TOTOLINK A810R<\/a> | V4.1.2cu.5182_B20201026<\/p>\n

How the Exploit Works<\/strong><\/p>\n

This vulnerability resides in the setNoticeCfg function of the TOTOLINK<\/a> A810R firmware, specifically within the NoticeUrl parameter. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending a specially crafted request containing malicious commands<\/a> to this function. The router firmware fails to adequately sanitize the input to this function, which allows the attacker’s commands to be executed<\/a> with root privileges on the device.<\/p>\n

Conceptual Example Code<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is a conceptual example of how the vulnerability might be exploited<\/a>. This is a simple HTTP request where the attacker injects malicious commands<\/a> into the NoticeUrl parameter.<\/p>\n

POST \/setNoticeCfg HTTP\/1.1\nHost: \nContent-Type: application\/x-www-form-urlencoded\nNoticeUrl=; ;<\/code><\/pre>\n
In this example, replace “ with the IP address of the vulnerable router and “ with the command<\/a> you wish to execute on the device. The semicolon (`;`) is used to separate the legitimate NoticeUrl value from the malicious command.<\/p>\n
Mitigation<\/strong><\/p>\n
The best mitigation strategy for this vulnerability<\/a> is to apply the vendor’s patch. It is also highly recommended to implement a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) as temporary mitigation until the patch can be applied. Regularly update and patch your systems to avoid falling victim to such vulnerabilities<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
