Lifecycle Timeline
5DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability has been found in TRENDnet TEW-432BRP 3.10B20. This affects the function formSetProtocolFilter of the file /goform/formSetProtocolFilter. Such manipulation of the argument protocol_name leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack may be performed from remote. The exploit has been disclosed to the 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 TRENDnet TEW-432BRP 3.10B20 routers allows authenticated remote attackers to corrupt memory and likely execute arbitrary code by sending a crafted protocol_name argument to the formSetProtocolFilter handler at /goform/formSetProtocolFilter. Publicly available exploit code exists on GitHub, and the vendor has confirmed the device has been end-of-life since 2009 and will not receive a fix, leaving deployed units permanently vulnerable.
Technical ContextAI
The vulnerability is a CWE-121 stack-based buffer overflow in the embedded web management interface of the TRENDnet TEW-432BRP wireless router (CPE cpe:2.3:a:trendnet:tew-432brp:*). The /goform/ URI prefix is characteristic of the Boa or similar lightweight CGI-style web server commonly used in consumer SOHO router firmware, where form handlers are implemented as native C functions. The formSetProtocolFilter function copies the user-supplied protocol_name parameter into a fixed-size stack buffer without bounds checking, allowing an oversized value to overwrite the saved return address, frame pointer, and other adjacent stack data - a classic memory corruption pattern in MIPS/ARM-based embedded Linux devices that typically lack modern mitigations such as ASLR, stack canaries, and non-executable stack.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis - TRENDnet has publicly declined to fix this device because it has been EOL since 2009. The only durable remediation is to decommission and replace the TEW-432BRP with a currently supported router. Until replacement, restrict exposure by ensuring the WAN-side remote management interface is disabled so /goform/formSetProtocolFilter is not reachable from the internet, segment the device onto an isolated management VLAN, change default administrative credentials to limit casual abuse of the PR:L requirement, and place the device behind an upstream firewall that blocks inbound HTTP/HTTPS to the router's management port. Note that these controls do not protect against an attacker who has already obtained valid LAN access or low-privilege credentials. Public exploit code is available at https://github.com/wudipjq/my_vuln/blob/main/TRENDnet/vuln_9/9.md, which defenders can use to validate detection rules on the management URI and the protocol_name parameter.
