Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was detected in TRENDnet TEW-432BRP 3.10B20. The affected element is the function formSetFirewallRule of the file /goform/formSetFirewallRule. The manipulation of the argument firewall_name results in stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be executed remotely. The exploit is now public and may be used. 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.
AnalysisAI
Stack-based buffer overflow in the TRENDnet TEW-432BRP wireless router (firmware 3.10B20) allows remote authenticated attackers to corrupt memory by manipulating the firewall_name parameter sent to /goform/formSetFirewallRule, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution on the device. Publicly available exploit code exists for this issue, and because the product has been end-of-life since 2009 the vendor has explicitly refused to release a fix, leaving any still-deployed devices permanently vulnerable.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a CWE-121 stack-based buffer overflow in the formSetFirewallRule handler of the device's web administration interface (goform/* endpoints are typical of GoAhead-style embedded HTTP servers used in SOHO routers). The firewall_name argument is copied into a fixed-size stack buffer without bounds checking, allowing an oversized value to overwrite saved registers and the return address. The affected component is cpe:2.3:a:trendnet:tew-432brp:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* - a legacy 802.11g broadband router whose firmware lacks modern mitigations such as stack canaries or ASLR typically found in current embedded Linux builds, making overflow-to-code-execution highly tractable.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - TRENDnet has publicly declined to fix this device due to its 2009 EOL status, so the only durable remediation is to decommission the TEW-432BRP and replace it with a currently-supported router. Until replacement, mitigate by disabling remote (WAN-side) administration so the /goform/formSetFirewallRule endpoint is unreachable from the internet, segmenting the device behind an upstream firewall that blocks inbound HTTP/HTTPS to its management interface, restricting LAN-side admin access to a dedicated management VLAN or single trusted host, and changing the default admin credentials to a strong unique password to raise the bar against the PR:L requirement. Note the trade-off: disabling remote admin removes a convenience feature, and restricting LAN access may break any home-automation or ISP-tooling that talked to the router. Track exploit details via the VulDB advisory (https://vuldb.com/vuln/367297) and the public PoC (https://github.com/wudipjq/my_vuln/blob/main/TRENDnet/vuln_7/7.md) to recognize exploitation attempts in logs.
