MITRE ATT&CK
1 technique across 1 tactic: Execution The technique list with ATT&CK links and the kill-chain view is part of the Basic plan and up. |
| Exploitation Conditions | Requires authenticated access to UTT HiPER 1250GW running firmware versions up to 3.2.7-210907-180535. Attacker must send crafted input to the /goform/formConfigDnsFilterGlobal endpoint with malicious GroupName parameter to trigger buffer overflow in strcpy function. |
| Impact | The CVSS 3.1 score of 8.8 reflects high severity across all impact metrics (C:H/I:H/A:H), with network-based attack vector (AV:N) and low complexity (AC:L), though exploitation requires low-level authentication (PR:L) and no user interaction (UI:N). The publicly available exploit code exists, as confirmed by the GitHub repository reference, significantly lowering the technical barrier for attackers. The exploit maturity indicator (E:P for Proof-of-concept) confirms functional exploit code is accessible. While not confirmed actively exploited (CISA KEV), the combination of remote exploitability, low attack complexity, authenticated access requirement that is often weak in IoT devices, and public exploit availability makes this a genuine priority for remediation. IoT/router vulnerabilities are frequently targeted at scale once exploitation tools are public. The authentication requirement provides some mitigation but should not be considered a strong barrier given typical weak credential practices in embedded devices. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker with low-privilege authenticated access to the UTT HiPER 1250GW web management interface (potentially obtained through credential stuffing, default passwords, or social engineering) can send a specially crafted HTTP request to the /goform/formConfigDnsFilterGlobal endpoint with an oversized GroupName parameter value. The publicly available exploit code demonstrates how to trigger the strcpy buffer overflow, potentially allowing the attacker to execute arbitrary code with device privileges, leading to complete router compromise, network traffic interception, or pivoting to internal network resources. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 26, 2026
Buffer overflow in UTT HiPER 1250GW firmware versions up to 3.2.7-210907-180535 allows authenticated remote attackers to achieve code execution through a malformed GroupName parameter in the DNS filter configuration handler. Public exploit code exists for this vulnerability and no patch is currently available. Affected organizations should restrict network access to administrative interfaces until remediation is possible.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the UTT HiPER 1250GW router firmware versions up to 3.2.7-210907-180535, specifically in the strcpy function within the /goform/formConfigDnsFilterGlobal endpoint of the Parameter Handler component. An authenticated attacker (PR:L) can remotely exploit this vulnerability by manipulating the GroupName parameter to achieve high-impact compromise of confidentiality, integrity, and availability (CVSS 8.8). Publicly available exploit code exists, and the proof-of-concept has been disclosed on GitHub, elevating the immediate risk to affected deployments.
RemediationAI
No vendor patch has been identified in the available data at time of analysis, and the CVSS vector indicates no official remediation level (RL:X). Organizations should monitor UTT's official security advisories and support channels for firmware updates addressing CVE-2026-4862. Until a vendor patch becomes available, implement compensating controls including restricting administrative access to the device from trusted IP ranges only, enforcing strong authentication credentials that exceed default configurations, disabling remote management interfaces if not operationally required, and deploying network segmentation to isolate affected devices from untrusted networks. Monitor for suspicious activity targeting the /goform/formConfigDnsFilterGlobal endpoint in web server logs. Consider replacing affected devices with alternative products if vendor support is uncertain or delayed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability affects the UTT HiPER 1250GW router (cpe:2.3:a:utt:hiper_1250gw), a network gateway device. The root cause is CWE-120 (Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input), commonly known as classic buffer overflow. The vulnerable code uses the unsafe strcpy function in the DNS filter configuration handler (/goform/formConfigDnsFilterGlobal) without proper input validation on the GroupName parameter. When processing user-supplied data, strcpy copies input to a fixed-size buffer without bounds checking, allowing an attacker to write beyond the allocated memory region. This class of vulnerability can lead to memory corruption, enabling arbitrary code execution, denial of service, or complete system compromise depending on exploitation technique and memory layout.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A security vulnerability has been detected in UTT HiPER 1250GW up to 3.2.7-210907-180535. This issue affects the function strcpy of the file /goform/formConfigDnsFilterGlobal of the component Parameter Handler. Such manipulation of the argument GroupName leads to buffer overflow. The attack can be launched remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.
Executive ViewAI
UTT HiPER 1250GW routers running firmware version 3.2.7-210907-180535 and earlier contain a critical buffer overflow vulnerability that allows authenticated attackers to completely compromise router confidentiality, integrity, and availability. With publicly available exploit code disclosed, organizations using affected routers face immediate risk of unauthorized access, data interception, and network disruption.
Pending vendor patch availability: (1) Restrict administrative access to affected routers to specific trusted IP addresses via firewall rules; (2) Disable or isolate the DNS filter configuration functionality if operationally feasible; (3) Deploy Web Application Firewall (WAF) rules to block POST requests to /goform/formConfigDnsFilterGlobal endpoint containing suspicious GroupName parameter payloads; (4) Implement network segmentation to prevent lateral movement if a router is compromised; (5) Enable detailed logging and alerting for authentication attempts and configuration changes on affected devices; (6) Monitor for indicators of buffer overflow attempts (abnormally long parameter values). These controls reduce but do not eliminate risk-vendor patch deployment is mandatory when available.
