MITRE ATT&CK
2 techniques across 2 tactics: Execution, Privilege Escalation The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Exploitation requires reaching the device's HTTP management interface and sending a request to the /goform/formArpBindConfig handler with an oversized 'pools' argument (the ARP-binding configuration feature). Per the CVSS 4.0 vector (PR:L), a low-privileged/authenticated session to the web UI is required, which is the primary limiting factor; no user interaction is needed (UI:N) and attack complexity is low (AC:L). Further limits: exploitation is confined to the specific firmware build UTT 进取 520W 1.7.7-180627, and practical remote reach depends on whether the admin interface is exposed to the WAN or only the LAN. No vendor patch is available, so mitigation relies on restricting management-interface access. |
| Impact | Signals are mixed and point to a real-but-low-urgency issue. The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N, VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, score 7.4) describes a network-reachable, low-complexity flaw with full confidentiality/integrity/availability impact but requiring some privileges (PR:L, i.e. an authenticated session to the router's web interface). Publicly available exploit code exists (github-poc), which raises practical risk, but this is distinct from active exploitation: the CVE is NOT in CISA KEV, so per precision rules there is no confirmed in-the-wild activity. EPSS is low at 0.16% (37th percentile), consistent with a niche Chinese SOHO/enterprise router rather than a mass-exploited internet target. The SSVC-relevant data point (E:P = Proof-of-Concept in the 4.0 vector) agrees with the POC signal and argues against treating this as weaponized. Net: a legitimate vulnerability with working POC but modest real-world priority, dominated by the unpatched vendor situation (vendor did not respond) rather than by exploitation pressure. One caveat: PR:L assumes the /goform ARP-binding endpoint requires authentication; if the device exposes this endpoint without auth in default or common configurations, effective privilege requirement could be lower than the vector implies - verify against the device. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with access to the router's web management interface (e.g. a logged-in or weakly-authenticated session, or an exposed LAN/WAN admin panel) sends a crafted POST to /goform/formArpBindConfig with an overlong 'pools' parameter. The unbounded strcpy overflows a stack/heap buffer, crashing the device or enabling arbitrary code execution. Public exploit code is already available, lowering the skill needed to reproduce it. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv2 – Oct 15, 2026
Remote buffer overflow in the UTT 进取 520W router firmware build 1.7.7-180627 allows an attacker who can reach the device's web management interface to corrupt memory and potentially achieve code execution or force a crash by sending an oversized 'pools' argument to the /goform/formArpBindConfig handler. The flaw is a classic unchecked strcpy in the ARP-binding configuration feature, rated CVSS 7.4 (v4.0) with high confidentiality, integrity and availability impact; the CVSS vector's PR:L component means a low-privileged authenticated web-UI session is required, which is the main limiting factor, along with the need to reach the management interface (typically LAN-only unless remote administration is exposed to the WAN). Publicly available exploit code exists (a GitHub PoC accompanies the disclosure), but there is no KEV listing and EPSS is only 0.16% (37th percentile), so current exploitation risk in the wild is low. The vendor was contacted and did not respond, so no patched firmware has been released.

RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis: the vendor was contacted early but did not respond, and no fixed firmware version has been published, so remediation must rely on compensating controls. The most effective measure is to remove the attack surface by disabling WAN-side/remote administration on the 520W and ensuring the HTTP management interface on port 80/443 is reachable only from a trusted LAN or, better, from an isolated management VLAN or VPN - the trade-off is that administrators lose convenient remote access and must connect through the internal network or a VPN concentrator. Where the device is internet-facing, block inbound TCP 80/443 to the appliance at the perimeter firewall and restrict access with source-IP ACLs; also change default administrative credentials and, if the firmware supports it, restrict the ARP-binding configuration page to a dedicated admin account, since the flaw still requires an authenticated low-privileged session (per the CVSS 4.0 PR:L value). Monitor the VULDB entries (https://vuldb.com/?id.334529, https://vuldb.com/?ctiid.334529, https://vuldb.com/?submit.698522) and the public PoC (https://github.com/cymiao1978/cve/blob/main/new/13.md#poc) for updates and check for vendor follow-up; if no patched firmware appears, plan to replace the device or confine it to a non-critical network segment, accepting the residual risk that any attacker who reaches the web UI can still trigger the overflow.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerability is a memory-safety defect in the firmware's embedded HTTP management stack. The /goform/formArpBindConfig endpoint implements the device's ARP binding/static IP-MAC mapping configuration; the handler copies a user-supplied form parameter named 'pools' into a fixed-size stack buffer using the unbounded strcpy function without any length validation. Per CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) - specifically a stack-based buffer overflow - an oversized 'pools' value overwrites adjacent stack memory, which can crash the web server or, with a carefully crafted payload, redirect control flow. The endpoint is reached over HTTP on the device's management interface, and per the CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N) the attack is network-delivered, low-complexity, needs no user interaction, and requires only a low-privileged session; exploitation is confined to the specific firmware build UTT 进取 520W 1.7.7-180627 (CPE cpe:2.3:o:utt:520w_firmware:1.7.7-180627). Because the handler sits behind the administrative UI, practical remote reach depends on whether that interface is exposed to the WAN or restricted to the LAN.

Lifecycle Timeline
4DescriptionCVE.org
A flaw has been found in UTT 进取 520W 1.7.7-180627. The impacted element is the function strcpy of the file /goform/formArpBindConfig. Executing manipulation of the argument pools can lead to buffer overflow. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been published and may be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.
Executive ViewAI
A remote buffer overflow vulnerability (CVE-2025-14141) affecting UTT 进取 520W devices has been publicly disclosed with working exploit code available. Organizations using this device model are at immediate risk of unauthorized system access and potential network compromise, as the vendor has not provided a patch or security response.
Implement Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block POST requests to /goform/formArpBindConfig from untrusted sources; restrict network access to affected devices using firewall rules and network segmentation; disable remote management interfaces if not operationally required; implement intrusion detection signatures monitoring for buffer overflow payloads targeting this endpoint; maintain audit logs for all access attempts to affected devices.
