How do I check whether I am affected by CVE-2026-9660?

Log in to the router admin UI and read the firmware version. Build TOTOLINK-X2000R-Gh-V1.0.0-B20250421.1327 is confirmed vulnerable; earlier builds are untested, so treat them as unknown. From outside the network, confirm the admin web interface is not reachable on the WAN side.

What is the fix for CVE-2026-9660?

No fixed firmware published as of 2026-10-23 (unknown). Mitigate: set a long unique admin password, turn off remote/WAN administration, limit admin UI access to management hosts. Install a patched build only from totolink.net once released. If compromise is suspected, reflash from an official image or replace the unit, then rotate Wi-Fi/VPN/PPPoE secrets.

Who is not affected by CVE-2026-9660?

Not affected if: auth-required, no-wan-admin, other-firmware-version.
