Summary

CVE-2022-27004 is a critical-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Totolink X5000R Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, ranked in the top 3.2% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

Deeper analysis

Totolink routers including the X5000R running firmware V9.1.0u.6118_B20201102 and the A7000R running V9.1.0u.6115_B20201022 contain a command-injection flaw in the Tunnel 6in4 feature. The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2022-27004 and assigned CWE-78, resides in handling of the remote6in4 parameter and permits unauthenticated attackers to supply a crafted request that results in arbitrary command execution on the device.

Because the flaw is reachable over the network without credentials or user interaction and carries a CVSS score of 9.8, any remote attacker can obtain full control of the affected router. Public proof-of-concept material demonstrates how an HTTP request can be manipulated to inject shell commands through the 6in4 tunnel configuration endpoint.

The associated EPSS score has reached 0.3065, indicating a substantial probability of exploitation. No vendor advisory or firmware update addressing the issue is referenced in the available sources.
