A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in TOTOLINK AC1200 T8 firmware version v4.1.5cu.861_B20230220, specifically in the setWiFiAclRules function. The vulnerability is triggered by improper handling of the desc parameter, which allows an attacker to overflow a buffer and potentially execute arbitrary code.

This repository contains a Python proof-of-concept exploit for CVE-2024-46451, a buffer overflow vulnerability in the TOTOLINK AC1200 T8 router (firmware v4.1.5cu.861_B20230220). The exploit targets the setWiFiAclRules function via the 'desc' parameter by sending a large, customizable payload in a POST request to the router's cgi-bin/cstecgi.cgi endpoint. The script requires a valid session cookie and allows the user to specify payload size and whether to use a random payload. The repository consists of a README.md with detailed usage instructions and a single exploit script (exploit_totolink.py). The exploit is network-based and requires access to the router's web interface. If successful, it may allow arbitrary code execution or cause a denial of service on the device.
