Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires reaching the device's web management interface and invoking the /goform/fNTP handler with an attacker-controlled NTPServerIP parameter that exceeds the destination buffer size used by strcpy; per the supplied CVSS vector (PR:L) a low-privilege authenticated session to the management interface is required, which is the primary limiting factor along with network reachability of the admin interface (typically LAN-side or exposed WAN management). No user interaction is needed (UI:N). The flaw affects UTT HiPER 2620G firmware versions up to and including 3.1.4; devices on unaffected versions or with the management interface restricted to trusted networks are not exposed. Note the description itself does not confirm the authentication requirement - it is taken from the CVSS metric.

Impact

Signals are moderate and largely consistent. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N, VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity stack buffer overflow that requires only low-privilege authentication and yields full compromise of the device's confidentiality, integrity and availability, which is credible for a strcpy overflow of an attacker-controlled NTPServerIP argument on an embedded router web endpoint (/goform/fNTP). Publicly available exploit code exists (referenced on GitHub), raising practical exploitability above the base score alone. However, EPSS is low at 0.75% (54th percentile) and the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, so there is no evidence of active, widespread exploitation - the POC indicates capability, not observed attacks. The embedded vector E:P (Proof-of-Concept) in the 4.0 string corroborates POC-but-not-weaponized status. Net: this is a real, reachable code-execution flaw on an unpatched product (vendor non-responsive), but current real-world risk is tempered by the PR:L authentication requirement, low EPSS, absence of KEV listing, and the product's limited deployment footprint. Treat as a genuine priority for anyone operating this specific device, but not an internet-wide emergency. Note: PR:L assumes attacker authentication to the device management interface - the description does not explicitly state an auth requirement, so this is inferred solely from the provided CVSS vector and should be verified against the actual /goform/fNTP handler.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with low-privilege access to the UTT HiPER 2620G web management interface sends a crafted request to /goform/fNTP with an overlong NTPServerIP value, overflowing a fixed-size buffer in a strcpy call. Because publicly available exploit code already exists, a low-skill attacker can reuse it to crash the device or execute arbitrary code, taking full control of the router. Exploitation is remote over the network but gated by the need for valid (low-level) credentials or an authenticated session.

AnalysisAIv1 – Oct 08, 2026

Remote buffer overflow in UTT HiPER 2620G firmware up to 3.1.4 enables an attacker with a low-privilege authenticated session on the web management interface to corrupt memory via the /goform/fNTP NTPServerIP parameter, potentially achieving high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. Publicly available exploit code exists, but there is no confirmed active exploitation (CISA KEV) and the EPSS score is low at 0.75% (54th percentile). The vendor did not respond to the disclosure, and no vendor-released patch is identified in the provided data.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch is identified in the provided data, and UTT did not respond to the disclosure, so remediation must rely on compensating controls until a fixed firmware is available. Restrict the web management interface to trusted networks such as a LAN or VPN, and block WAN-side access to HTTP/HTTPS management ports; this prevents remote exploitation but disrupts legitimate remote administration. If remote management is required, place the interface behind a VPN or firewall that only permits trusted source IPs, and enforce least-privilege accounts to reduce exposure from the PR:L requirement. Where feasible, use a reverse proxy or WAF to monitor or block requests to /goform/fNTP containing oversized NTPServerIP values, understanding that this is not a substitute for a firmware fix and may affect NTP-related functionality. Apply any future UTT firmware update beyond 3.1.4 as soon as it becomes available, and consult the public disclosure at https://github.com/ashin9/CVE/issues/2 and VulDB entries at https://vuldb.com/?id.328070 and https://vuldb.com/?ctiid.328070 for updates.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The flaw resides in the /goform/fNTP handler of the UTT HiPER 2620G web management interface. The handler uses strcpy() to copy the attacker-controlled NTPServerIP parameter into a fixed-size buffer without validating its length, which is a classic instance of CWE-119, improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer. The CPE cpe:2.3:o:utt:2620g_firmware:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the affected firmware line, and the description limits affected versions to 3.1.4 and earlier. Exploitation requires reaching the management interface and, per the assessed CVSS vector CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, a low-privilege authenticated session; no user interaction is needed. A successful overflow can overwrite adjacent memory, potentially leading to code execution or a denial of service with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability, while the assessment scope remains unchanged (S:U). The original CVSS 4.0 vector also marks PR:L and E:P, reflecting the public proof-of-concept exploit situation.

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was determined in UTT HiPER 2620G up to 3.1.4. Impacted is the function strcpy of the file /goform/fNTP. This manipulation of the argument NTPServerIP causes buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The UTT HiPER 2620G router, used in branch or remote office networks, is affected by a high-severity buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2025-11653) in its web management interface. An attacker with access to the web management interface could corrupt memory, potentially achieving high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. Although publicly available exploit code exists, no active exploitation has been confirmed (CISA KEV) and the EPSS score remains low at 0.8%, but leadership should still prioritize remediation because a compromise could disrupt network operations and expose sensitive data.

Business Impact: High
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting web management interface access to trusted IP addresses or internal networks, disabling remote management, enforcing strong authentication and least privilege for management sessions, segmenting affected devices from critical assets, monitoring network traffic for exploitation attempts targeting the /goform/fNTP NTPServerIP parameter, and considering virtual patching through a web application firewall or intrusion prevention system if available. Engage vendor for patch status and consider device replacement if no patch is forthcoming.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.
