CVE-2025-15429

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

A remote buffer overflow vulnerability in UTT 进取 512W firmware version 1.7.7-171114 allows attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause denial of service by exploiting the strcpy function in the /goform/formConfigCliForEngineerOnly endpoint. This affects users of this specific router model with the vulnerable firmware. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • UTT 进取 512W router
Versions: 1.7.7-171114
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux firmware
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Only this specific firmware version is confirmed affected. The vulnerable endpoint appears to be accessible by default.

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Remote code execution leading to complete device compromise, network infiltration, data theft, and persistent backdoor installation.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote denial of service causing router crashes and network disruption, potentially leading to remote code execution.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if device is behind strict network segmentation with no external access.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and public exploit exists.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Even internally, the vulnerability can be exploited by any network user.

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Public proof-of-concept exploit exists on GitHub. The vulnerability requires no authentication and has simple exploitation vectors.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

No official patch available. Vendor has not responded to disclosure. Consider replacing device or implementing workarounds.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Block vulnerable endpoint

linux

Use firewall rules to block access to the /goform/formConfigCliForEngineerOnly endpoint

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m string --string "/goform/formConfigCliForEngineerOnly" --algo bm -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -m string --string "/goform/formConfigCliForEngineerOnly" --algo bm -j DROP

Disable web management interface

all

Turn off the web management interface if not required

Check router admin interface for web management toggle

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate the router in a separate VLAN with strict network segmentation
  • Implement strict firewall rules to limit access to router management interfaces

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check router firmware version via web interface at http://[router-ip]/status.asp or via SSH if enabled. Look for version 1.7.7-171114.

Check Version:

curl -s http://[router-ip]/status.asp | grep -i version

Verify Fix Applied:

No official fix available to verify. Verify workarounds by testing if /goform/formConfigCliForEngineerOnly endpoint is inaccessible.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple requests to /goform/formConfigCliForEngineerOnly with long parameters
  • Router crash/restart logs
  • Unusual outbound connections from router

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP POST requests to /goform/formConfigCliForEngineerOnly with unusually long addCommand parameter
  • Sudden router unresponsiveness followed by abnormal traffic patterns

SIEM Query:

source="router_logs" AND uri="/goform/formConfigCliForEngineerOnly" AND (param_length>100 OR status_code=500)
