Exploitation Conditions

Exploitation requires authenticated access to the UTT HiPER 1250GW web management interface, as confirmed by PR:L in the CVSS 4.0 vector - an attacker must hold valid credentials or have hijacked an authenticated session before reaching the vulnerable endpoint. The specific trigger is an HTTP request to /goform/getOneApConfTempEntry with an oversized tempName argument; no non-default configuration or special device mode is required beyond the management web interface being reachable. The primary factor limiting exploitation is this authentication prerequisite (PR:L): an unauthenticated remote attacker cannot directly trigger the overflow without first obtaining credentials. Network-level access control restricting the management interface to trusted subnets would prevent remote exploitation entirely. All firmware versions up to and including v3.2.7-210907-180535 on any deployment of this device are susceptible.

Impact

The CVSS 4.0 base vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N) yields a score of 7.4, reflecting a network-reachable, low-complexity attack path constrained only by a low-privilege authentication requirement. The E:P supplemental metric in the provided vector explicitly acknowledges the existence of public exploit code, which is corroborated by the GitHub PoC reference. This meaningfully raises real-world risk beyond the base score: a motivated attacker with any valid credential can weaponize the public PoC. The absence of a CISA KEV entry means mass or nation-state exploitation has not been publicly confirmed, but the PoC lowers the skill bar considerably. The vendor's non-response to disclosure eliminates any expectation of an imminent patch, making compensating controls the only available mitigation path. The primary risk limiter is the PR:L authentication requirement - without valid credentials or session hijacking capability, remote unauthenticated exploitation is not confirmed by the available data.

Exploit ScenarioDerived

An attacker with low-privilege credentials to the HiPER 1250GW management interface - obtained via default credentials, credential stuffing, or prior compromise - sends a crafted HTTP POST to /goform/getOneApConfTempEntry with a tempName value exceeding the stack buffer size. The unsafe strcpy call overwrites the return address with attacker-controlled data; when the function returns, execution is redirected to attacker-supplied code or a ROP chain. A public proof-of-concept demonstrating this technique is available at https://github.com/7wkajk/CVE-VUL/blob/main/102.md, reducing the expertise required for exploitation.

AnalysisAIv1 – Aug 05, 2026

Stack-based buffer overflow in the UTT HiPER 1250GW firmware (all versions up to v3.2.7-210907-180535) allows authenticated remote attackers to corrupt stack memory via the tempName argument of the /goform/getOneApConfTempEntry endpoint, with potential for arbitrary code execution on the device. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub, and the vendor did not respond to coordinated disclosure, leaving no patch path available. No CISA KEV listing exists, but the PoC availability combined with an unpatched network device significantly elevates practical risk for any exposed management interface.

RemediationAI

No vendor-released patch has been identified at the time of analysis; the vendor did not respond to disclosure and no fixed firmware version is known. As the primary compensating control, immediately restrict access to the device's web management interface to dedicated, isolated management VLANs or trusted IP ranges at the network perimeter - this blocks remote exploitation but does not protect against an already-authenticated internal attacker. Disable remote web management entirely if operational requirements permit, as the /goform/ endpoint family cannot be safely exposed to untrusted networks given an unpatched overflow. If the device is internet-facing, treat it as critically exposed and consider replacing it with a supported alternative. Monitor VulDB (https://vuldb.com/vuln/385932) for any future vendor patch release. Note that credential hardening (changing default credentials) reduces but does not eliminate risk, since PR:L exploitation still requires only low-privilege access.

Technical ContextAI · show details

The UTT HiPER 1250GW is an embedded network gateway appliance whose firmware exposes a web-based management interface via /goform/ CGI-style endpoints - a common pattern in consumer and SMB-grade routers. The vulnerable handler getOneApConfTempEntry processes a tempName form parameter using the C standard library function strcpy(), which performs no bounds checking before writing user-supplied data into a fixed-size stack buffer. This is a textbook CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow): by supplying an oversized tempName value, an attacker can overwrite adjacent stack frames including the saved return address, redirecting instruction flow. The affected CPE is cpe:2.3:a:utt:hiper_1250gw:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, with the wildcard version indicating all known releases are affected and no remediated build has been identified.

DescriptionCVE.org

A vulnerability was identified in UTT HiPER 1250GW up to v3.2.7-210907-180535. The impacted element is the function strcpy of the file /goform/getOneApConfTempEntry. The manipulation of the argument tempName leads to stack-based buffer overflow. The attack can be initiated remotely. The exploit is publicly available and might be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Executive ViewAI

Why It Matters

The UTT HiPER 1250GW wireless gateway contains a critical buffer overflow vulnerability in its management interface that allows authenticated attackers to remotely execute arbitrary code on the device. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the vendor has not released a patch for any firmware version, leaving deployed instances undefended. Organizations running this device lack a vendor-supplied remediation path, significantly increasing breach risk to network infrastructure.

Business Impact: Severe
Compensating Controls

No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Implement network segmentation to restrict management interface access to trusted administrative networks only; (2) Apply firewall rules to block or monitor access to the /goform/getOneApConfTempEntry endpoint; (3) Disable remote management access if operationally viable; (4) Monitor for exploitation attempts targeting the tempName parameter on that endpoint; (5) Establish device replacement roadmap as no patching remediation path exists.

Attack Technique

A buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a memory buffer than it was allocated to hold, causing the excess data to spill into adjacent memory regions.

A stack-based buffer overflow occurs when a program writes more data to a buffer located on the stack than it was allocated to hold.
