Summary

CVE-2026-1327 is a medium-severity Injection (CWE-74) vulnerability in Totolink Nr1800X Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 5.3 (Medium).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 16% 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.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2026-1327 is a command injection vulnerability in the Totolink NR1800X router running firmware version 9.1.0u.6279_B20210910. The issue resides in the setTracerouteCfg function within the /cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi file, part of the POST Request Handler component. By manipulating the "command" argument in a POST request, an attacker can inject arbitrary commands, as classified under CWE-74 (Improper Neutralization of Special Elements) and CWE-77 (Command Injection). The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 6.3 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:L) and was published on 2026-01-22.

A remote attacker with low privileges, such as an authenticated user on the device, can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables limited impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, allowing the injection and execution of operating system commands on the router. The scope remains unchanged, meaning the attack does not propagate beyond the targeted component.

Advisories and additional details are available from sources including VulDB (ctiid.342303, id.342303, submit.735790) and a public exploit disclosure at a Notion site. The vendor's website at totolink.net provides further context, though specific patch or mitigation guidance is referenced in these locations. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be used in attacks.
