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 login (PR:L) to UTT HiPER 1200GW running firmware versions up to 2.5.3-170306. Attacker with low-privilege credentials can remotely exploit the buffer overflow vulnerability in the /goform/websHostFilter function via strcpy. No user interaction needed. |
| Impact | The CVSS v3.1 score of 8.8 (High) reflects significant impact with network-based attack vector (AV:N), low complexity (AC:L), and requiring only low privileges (PR:L) with no user interaction (UI:N). While authentication is required, the availability of a public exploit on GitHub (https://github.com/hmKunlun/UTTHiPER/blob/main/HiPER%201200GW.md) dramatically increases real-world risk by enabling script-kiddie level attacks. The CVSS temporal metrics show proof-of-concept code exists (E:P) with remediation level unproven (RL:X), indicating no official patch may be available. For edge network devices like routers, buffer overflows leading to remote code execution represent critical infrastructure risks, as they can provide persistent access to internal networks. Organizations using this equipment should treat this as a high-priority remediation item, especially given the public exploit and the device's role as a network perimeter component. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained or brute-forced low-privilege credentials to the router's web interface (possibly through credential stuffing or default passwords) sends a crafted HTTP request to the /goform/websHostFilter endpoint with an oversized input parameter. The strcpy function copies this malicious payload into a fixed-size stack buffer without bounds checking, overwriting adjacent memory including the return address. The attacker leverages the publicly available proof-of-concept code from GitHub to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the web server process, gaining complete control of the router to intercept traffic, pivot into the internal network, or establish persistent backdoor access. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Mar 20, 2026
Unauthenticated attackers can trigger a buffer overflow in UTT HiPER 1200GW firmware versions up to 2.5.3-170306 via the /goform/websHostFilter endpoint, enabling remote code execution with full system compromise. Public exploit code is available and there is currently no patch, leaving affected devices at immediate risk. The vulnerability requires only network access and valid credentials to exploit, making it readily actionable for threat actors.
Earlier versions of this analysis (1)
A buffer overflow vulnerability exists in the strcpy function within the /goform/websHostFilter endpoint of UTT HiPER 1200GW routers running firmware versions up to 2.5.3-170306. An authenticated attacker with low-level privileges can exploit this remotely to achieve high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, potentially gaining complete control of the device. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub, significantly lowering the barrier to exploitation.
RemediationAI
Contact UTT Technologies to inquire about firmware updates newer than version 2.5.3-170306, as the CVSS temporal vector indicates no confirmed remediation level (RL:X), suggesting a patch may not be officially available. Given the age of the affected firmware (2017) and potential end-of-life status, organizations should consider replacing UTT HiPER 1200GW devices with currently-supported alternatives from reputable vendors. As immediate mitigations, restrict administrative interface access to trusted management networks only, implement strong authentication controls, disable remote administration if not required, and deploy intrusion detection systems to monitor for exploitation attempts targeting the /goform/websHostFilter endpoint. Network segmentation should isolate these devices from critical assets until replacement or patching is completed.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability affects the UTT HiPER 1200GW router (cpe:2.3:a:utt:hiper_1200gw), specifically firmware versions through 2.5.3-170306 dated March 6, 2017. The root cause is CWE-120 (Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input, classic buffer overflow), where the strcpy function in the websHostFilter form handler fails to validate input length before copying data into a fixed-size buffer. The strcpy function is a legacy C string manipulation routine known for lacking bounds checking, making it inherently dangerous when handling user-controlled input. This occurs in the web administration interface's host filtering functionality, which is accessible over the network to authenticated users.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was determined in UTT HiPER 1200GW up to 2.5.3-170306. This impacts the function strcpy of the file /goform/websHostFilter. This manipulation causes buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized.
Executive ViewAI
UTT HiPER 1200GW routers are vulnerable to remote exploitation that could allow attackers to gain complete control of affected devices. This poses a critical risk to network infrastructure, particularly if these routers are used in production environments, as attackers could intercept traffic, modify configurations, or disrupt connectivity. With public exploits readily available and no patch currently available, immediate action is required to mitigate exposure.
Implement WAF or network firewall rules to block/monitor requests to /goform/websHostFilter endpoint; restrict administrative access to routers via network segmentation and IP whitelisting; disable web-based management interface if not required and use only console/SSH access with strong authentication; disable the affected host filter feature if operationally feasible; increase monitoring and logging on affected devices for suspicious activity; consider network segmentation to limit lateral movement if a device is compromised.

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.
