TOTOLINK X2000R router can be taken over through a crafted web request
A flaw in the router's web management page lets someone who is logged in send a specially crafted request that can make the router run their own code. That means they could take control of the device.

How the attack works simplified
- 1Attacker with loginNeeds valid authenticated access to the router
- 2Crafted HTTP requestSent to the boa web server's formIpQos mac handler
- 3Stack buffer overflowOversized input overwrites memory on the stack
- 4Code executionAttacker's code runs on the router
- ResultAttacker controls the router
What happened
A stack-based buffer overflow in the boa web server's formIpQos mac functionality of the TOTOLINK X2000R allows arbitrary code execution via a crafted authenticated HTTP request.
Are you affected?
You are affected if you run TOTOLINK X2000R with firmware TOTOLINK-X2000R-Gh-V1.0.0-B20250421.1327.
TOTOLINK X2000R, firmware TOTOLINK-X2000R-Gh-V1.0.0-B20250421.1327
What to do
- Check whether your router runs firmware TOTOLINK-X2000R-Gh-V1.0.0-B20250421.1327 (look in the admin page's system or firmware info).
- Check the TOTOLINK website or your vendor for a patched firmware and install it as soon as it is available.
- Until a fix is installed, change the router admin password to a strong unique one and turn off remote management if it is enabled.
- Restrict access to the router admin page to trusted devices only.
