| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 2.1 is strikingly low for a network-reachable stack-based buffer overflow with a public proof-of-concept. The low score is driven by the impact metrics being set to Low across all confidentiality, integrity, and availability dimensions (VC:L/VI:L/VA:L), with no subsequent system impact (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N). This scoring appears inconsistent with typical stack overflow outcomes on 2009-era router firmware, where memory protections are absent and full device compromise is a realistic result - defenders should treat this as potentially underscored. The attack vector is network (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L) and no additional attack requirements (AT:N), but PR:L means some level of authenticated access is required, which limits opportunistic exploitation. The exploit-maturity modifier E:P confirms public PoC code exists, elevating practical risk. No EPSS score was provided. CISA KEV status is absent, indicating no confirmed mass exploitation at time of analysis. The most significant risk signal here is the combination of public PoC and a permanent no-patch status on a device likely still deployed in legacy home and small-business environments. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – May 29, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in TRENDnet TEW-432BRP firmware 3.10B20 allows a low-privileged remote attacker to corrupt memory via a manipulated special_name argument submitted to the /goform/formSetPortTr endpoint. The affected device reached end-of-life in 2009, and the vendor has explicitly declined to issue a patch, meaning no fix will ever be released. Publicly available exploit code exists (E:P per CVSS 4.0 vector), raising the practical risk for any deployment where this device remains internet-accessible or reachable by untrusted users.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and the vendor has explicitly confirmed no fix will be produced due to the product's 15-year EOL status. The primary and strongly recommended remediation is to decommission and replace the TEW-432BRP immediately with a supported device. If immediate replacement is not feasible, the following compensating controls should be applied in order of priority: restrict all access to the device's web management interface to a dedicated, isolated management VLAN or trusted host IP only - this directly limits exploitation by removing network reachability of /goform/formSetPortTr; disable remote management features if available in the current firmware UI to reduce the attack surface; ensure the device is not exposed to the public internet and place it behind a firewall or NAT boundary that blocks inbound connections to the management port (typically TCP 80/443). Note that these mitigations reduce but do not eliminate risk, since the PR:L requirement means any authenticated user on the local network could still trigger the overflow.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The TEW-432BRP is a consumer-grade SOHO wireless router whose web management interface exposes CGI-style form handlers under /goform/. The vulnerable handler formSetPortTr processes port-triggering configuration and copies user-supplied input for the special_name field into a fixed-size stack buffer without adequate bounds checking. This is a classic CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within Bounds of a Memory Buffer) - specifically a stack-based overflow - which in embedded MIPS/ARM router firmware typically allows overwriting the saved return address to redirect execution. The firmware version is 3.10B20; no CPE string was provided in the source data, but the product is unambiguously identified. Because this is embedded firmware with no OS-level memory protection (ASLR, stack canaries) common to 2009-era devices, exploitation difficulty is substantially lower than the CVSS 4.0 score of 2.1 suggests.

DescriptionCVE.org
A security flaw has been discovered in TRENDnet TEW-432BRP 3.10B20. This affects the function formSetPortTr of the file /goform/formSetPortTr. Performing a manipulation of the argument special_name results in stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been released to the public and may be used for attacks. The vendor explains: "This product has been EOL for 15 years (since 2009). As the item has been EOL for such a long time, we are not able to replicate or fix any vulnerabilities." This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
