Summary

CVE-2025-3987 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Totolink N150Rt Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploit Public-Facing Application (T1190); ranked in the top 6.1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

Deeper analysis

CVE-2025-3987 is a command injection vulnerability in the TOTOLINK N150RT wireless router running firmware version 3.4.0-B20190525. The flaw resides in the processing of the /boafrm/formWsc endpoint, where unsanitized input to the localPin argument allows arbitrary command execution. It is tracked under CWE-74 and CWE-77 and carries a CVSS 4.0 score of 5.3.

An authenticated remote attacker can supply a crafted localPin value to the affected form handler and execute operating-system commands on the device. The attack requires no user interaction and can be launched over the network, resulting in limited but direct effects on confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the router.

Public references include a detailed proof-of-concept on GitHub and entries on VulDB, confirming that exploit code has been disclosed. No vendor advisory or patch information is provided in the available sources, and the EPSS score has remained flat at 0.1192 with no observed increase after publication.

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise TechniquesAI

T1190 Exploit Public-Facing Application Initial Access
Adversaries may attempt to exploit a weakness in an Internet-facing host or system to initially access a network.
T1202 Indirect Command Execution Stealth
Adversaries may abuse utilities that allow for command execution to bypass security restrictions that limit the use of command-line interpreters.
T1059.008 Network Device CLI Execution
Adversaries may abuse scripting or built-in command line interpreters (CLI) on network devices to execute malicious command and payloads.
Why these techniques?

The remote command injection vulnerability in the TOTOLINK N150RT router's web interface (/boafrm/formWsc) via the localPin parameter enables exploitation of a public-facing application (T1190), indirect command execution (T1202 as cited in advisory), and command/script execution on a network device CLI equivalent (T1059.008).
