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 network reach to the 512W device's web management interface and valid low-privilege credentials (CVSS PR:L), after which the attacker sends a request to the /goform/formPictureUrl endpoint with an overlong importpictureurl argument to overflow the buffer handled by strcpy. Limiting factors: the attacker must already be authenticated at some privilege level, and the web interface must be reachable from the attacker's position (typically LAN-side unless remote administration is exposed to the WAN). No user interaction is required. |
| Impact | This is a memory-corruption flaw (CWE-119) in the web management interface of a niche UTT 进取 512W router, with publicly available exploit code (no KEV listing, so no confirmed active exploitation). The provided CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N, VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, base 7.4) indicates a network-reachable, low-complexity attack requiring low privileges (PR:L - i.e., authenticated), with high impact to confidentiality, integrity, and availability but no scope change to subsequent systems. The key mitigating signal is PR:L: an attacker must first hold valid (even low-privilege) credentials to the device's web admin, which substantially narrows the realistic attacker population versus a fully unauthenticated flaw. No EPSS score or SSVC decision data was provided, so exploitation probability cannot be quantified; the only exploitation signal is the public POC referenced on GitHub. Overall this is a moderate-priority issue: a real, exploitable buffer overflow with public exploit code, but gated behind authentication and confined to a low-footprint consumer/SMB networking product - not a mass-exploitation candidate absent other evidence. EPSS is missing and should be checked before final prioritization. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with valid low-privilege credentials to the 512W web interface sends a crafted request to /goform/formPictureUrl with an oversized importpictureurl parameter, overflowing a fixed-size buffer in the strcpy call. This can crash the device (denial of service) or, with a tailored payload, corrupt memory to achieve code execution on the router. A public proof-of-concept for this attack has been disclosed on GitHub. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Oct 07, 2026
Authenticated buffer overflow in the UTT 进取 512W wireless router firmware (versions up to and including 1.7.7-171114) lets a remote attacker with valid low-privilege credentials corrupt memory by sending an oversized 'importpictureurl' argument to the /goform/formPictureUrl endpoint, which is copied with strcpy without a length check. Successful exploitation can give an attacker high impact across confidentiality, integrity and availability of the device - typically full compromise of the web management context or a persistent crash/reboot loop. Publicly available exploit code exists (a detailed GitHub PoC), and the flaw carries an EPSS-relevant profile as a low-complexity, network-reachable web bug, but there is no CISA KEV listing, so no confirmed active exploitation has been observed.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - the available references (the GitHub PoC at https://github.com/cymiao1978/cve/blob/main/new/16.md and the VulDB entries https://vuldb.com/?id.338420 and https://vuldb.com/?ctiid.338420) document the flaw and exploit but do not point to a fixed firmware build, so UTT should be contacted directly for an updated image and affected users should track the VulDB record for a patch reference. Until a fix is available, apply layered compensating controls: disable WAN-side remote administration so the /goform/ interface is reachable only from a trusted LAN segment (trade-off: loses remote management, requires on-site or VPN access); enforce strong, non-default administrative credentials and least-privilege accounts so that PR:L exploitation requires a real credential rather than a factory default (trade-off: does not stop an insider or a user with legitimate low-privilege access); segment router management traffic on a dedicated VLAN and restrict which hosts can reach TCP/80 and TCP/443 on the device (trade-off: adds network complexity but removes the attacker's network reach precondition); and where an inline proxy or IPS is available, add a rule that rejects or truncates requests to /goform/formPictureUrl whose importpictureurl parameter exceeds a sane length (trade-off: signature can be bypassed by encoding tricks and requires tuning to avoid breaking legitimate picture-URL configuration). Monitor device logs for repeated reboots, crashes or unusually large POST bodies to /goform/formPictureUrl as an indicator of exploitation attempts, and plan to replace the unit if UTT confirms end-of-support with no firmware fix.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The root cause is CWE-119 (improper restriction of operations within the bounds of a memory buffer), realized here as a classic unbounded string copy: the firmware's embedded web server (GoAhead/GoForm-family CGI handlers in the /goform/ namespace) hands the user-supplied 'importpictureurl' form parameter directly to strcpy() in the formPictureUrl handler without validating its length against the destination buffer. Supplying an overlong value overwrites adjacent stack or heap memory, which typically yields denial of service and, depending on layout and mitigations, arbitrary code execution with the privileges of the web server process on the router. The CPE cpe:2.3:o:utt:512w_firmware:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* indicates the vulnerability is tracked against the device firmware image as a whole rather than a standalone application. UTT 进取 512W is a consumer/SMB wireless router, and the affected endpoint is part of the device's administrative web UI, meaning the attack surface is the same interface used for legitimate configuration - a common and historically productive target class for embedded-device memory-corruption exploits.

DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was determined in UTT 进取 512W up to 1.7.7-171114. This issue affects the function strcpy of the file /goform/formPictureUrl. This manipulation of the argument importpictureurl causes buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.
Executive ViewAI
The UTT 进取 512W wireless router (firmware versions up to and including 1.7.7-171114) is affected by a buffer overflow vulnerability that could allow an attacker with low-privilege credentials to fully compromise the device, potentially leading to network breaches or persistent outages. While no confirmed active exploitation has been observed (CISA KEV), publicly available exploit code exists, and no vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, leaving organizations that deploy these routers at risk. Leadership should prioritize immediate mitigation and monitoring until a patch is released.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations include restricting access to the web management interface to trusted networks, disabling remote management if not required, blocking the /goform/formPictureUrl endpoint, enforcing strong credentials, and network segmentation.
