TOTOLINK X5000R firmware versions V9.1.0u.6118_B20201102 and V9.1.0u.6369_B20230113 are affected by a command injection vulnerability in the setting/setTracerouteCfg endpoint. The vulnerability arises from improper sanitization of the 'command' parameter, allowing attackers to inject and execute arbitrary system commands on the device.

This repository contains a single Metasploit module targeting an unauthenticated remote command execution vulnerability (CVE-2023-30013) in multiple TOTOLINK wireless routers. The exploit leverages a command injection flaw in the 'setTracerouteCfg' functionality, accessible via the '/cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi' HTTP endpoint. The module allows attackers to execute arbitrary commands or deploy a Meterpreter reverse shell on the affected device, typically with root privileges. The exploit is weaponized, supporting both command execution and staged payload delivery (including MIPSLE binaries for embedded Linux devices). The module is highly configurable via Metasploit, allowing for payload customization and automated exploitation. The repository is structured as a single Ruby file compatible with the Metasploit Framework, and is intended for use by penetration testers and security researchers to test the security of TOTOLINK routers.
