Submit #733249: TOTOLINK WA1200 V5.9c.2914 NULL Pointer Dereferenceinfo

TitleTOTOLINK WA1200 V5.9c.2914 NULL Pointer Dereference
DescriptionA NULL pointer dereference vulnerability exists in the cstecgi.cgi CGI program of TOTOLINK WA1200-PoE firmware version V5.9c.2914. The vulnerability is triggered when handling a crafted HTTP request containing the action=login parameter. During request processing, the CGI application attempts to communicate with a local backend service. If the backend connection fails, the response pointer is not properly validated and remains NULL. The program subsequently passes this NULL pointer to cJSON_Parse() and related JSON access routines without checking its validity, resulting in a segmentation fault. A remote, unauthenticated attacker can exploit this vulnerability to crash the CGI process, leading to a DoS condition affecting the device’s web management interface.
