Summary

The TOTOLINK A950RG router's MAC Filter feature, specifically its web management interface (cstecgi.cgi), is affected by this vulnerability. An attacker on the network could send a crafted request to overflow a memory buffer, which could crash the device or potentially allow arbitrary code to run on it.

Read the original description

A flaw has been found in TOTOLINK A950RG 4.1.2cu.5268_B20221104. Affected by this vulnerability is the function setMacFilterRules of the file /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi of the component MAC Filter Handler. This manipulation of the argument addEffect causes stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit has been published and may be used.

What to do

  • Check whether your setup matches what the bug needs.

    Affected firmware is TOTOLINK A950RG V4.1.2cu.5268_B20221104. The vulnerable path is reached by posting to setting/setMacFilterRules with a non-zero addEffect value.
  • Workaround: The checked facts list no fix and no workaround, so this page cannot name a mitigation.

FAQ

Questions about CVE-2026-121600

Is CVE-2026-121600 being exploited?

It is not in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, and CISA's SSVC assessment does not mark exploitation as active. That does not mean it has not been attacked: vendors and researchers can report attacks before CISA lists them. No public exploit code is tracked.Source: cve.now feed data

What does this mean?

The MAC filter handler overflows a stack buffer, overwriting the saved return address. The advisory says that address can be aimed at a fixed location, which could allow control of program execution on the device.Source: gist.github.com

Which versions are affected by CVE-2026-121600?

A950RG: version 4.1.2cu.5268_B20221104.Source: cve.now feed data

Am I affected, and how do I check?

The advisory names TOTOLINK A950RG firmware V4.1.2cu.5268_B20221104. The vulnerable path is a POST to setting/setMacFilterRules with a non-zero addEffect value. To check, compare the firmware version shown on the device against that build and see whether that endpoint is used with a non-zero addEffect value.Source: gist.github.com

What if there's no patch?

The checked facts list no fix and no workaround, so this page cannot name a mitigation.Source: gist.github.com
