CVE-2024-0292
Command Injection in Totolink Lr1200Gb Firmware 9.1.0u.6619_b20230130
Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:LSummary
CVE-2024-0292 is a medium-severity OS Command Injection (CWE-78) vulnerability in Totolink Lr1200Gb Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 6.3 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 9% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
A critical OS command injection vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2024-0292 and assigned CWE-78, affects the Totolink LR1200GB router running firmware 9.1.0u.6619_B20230130. The flaw resides in the setOpModeCfg function within /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi, where unsanitized input to the hostName argument allows arbitrary command execution.
An authenticated remote attacker with low privileges can supply a crafted hostName value to the CGI endpoint and execute operating system commands on the device. Successful exploitation yields limited read, write, and disruption capabilities on the affected router without requiring user interaction.
Public exploit code has been released via GitHub and Vuldb, and the vendor did not respond to early disclosure notifications. The EPSS score rose materially from a low baseline to a peak of 0.0656 on 2025-01-22 before receding to the current value of 0.0151, indicating post-disclosure exploitation interest that warrants renewed attention.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation can discover missing or incorrect command sanitization during development.
Input validation directly neutralizes or rejects special characters that would otherwise alter OS command structure.
Least privilege reduces the permissions available to any process that could be subverted by injected commands.
Least functionality restricts available OS commands and interpreters, limiting the blast radius of injection.
Secure engineering principles require proper neutralization of untrusted input before command construction.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly require secure coding and input handling that blocks command-injection defects, yet the single broad outcome leaves many specific neutralization vectors and verification gaps unaddressed.
Routine patching/maintenance can remediate known command-injection CVEs in dependencies (partial forward) but does nothing to stop developers from introducing improper neutralization in custom code (none reverse).
