| Exploitation Conditions | Authenticated attacker with login access to UTT HiPER 1250GW running firmware version 3.2.7-210907-180535 or earlier. Attacker must access the /goform/formNatStaticMap endpoint and manipulate the NatBind parameter to trigger buffer overflow in strcpy function. |
| Impact | Real-world risk is moderate-to-high despite the 8.8 CVSS score. The CVSS vector (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) indicates network-based exploitation with low attack complexity, but critically requires low-privilege authentication (PR:L), meaning attackers need valid credentials to access the router's web interface before exploitation. This significantly reduces the attack surface compared to unauthenticated vulnerabilities, as default credential usage or prior credential compromise becomes a prerequisite. The publicly available exploit code (GitHub POC) eliminates technical barriers for exploitation, making this a viable target for opportunistic attackers who have gained initial access through credential stuffing, phishing, or brute-force attacks against exposed management interfaces. No EPSS score is provided in the data, and no CISA KEV listing indicates no confirmed active exploitation at time of analysis. However, the combination of public POC availability and high impact (complete device compromise possible) means organizations with internet-exposed management interfaces or untrusted internal users face tangible risk. The attack is not automatable at scale without credential acquisition, reducing worm/botnet potential but not targeted attack risk. Technical impact is critical-successful exploitation grants attackers complete control over network routing, NAT configurations, and potential pivot points into protected networks. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker conducts reconnaissance against an organization's internet-facing infrastructure and identifies a UTT HiPER 1250GW router with exposed web management interface (commonly TCP 80/443). Using credential stuffing attacks with leaked credentials from third-party breaches or default/weak passwords, the attacker authenticates to the router's administrative console with low-privilege user credentials. Navigating to the NAT configuration interface (/goform/formNatStaticMap), the attacker crafts a malicious HTTP request containing an oversized NatBind parameter value-based on the publicly available GitHub POC exploit-triggering the strcpy buffer overflow. The carefully crafted payload overwrites stack memory with shellcode that executes with the router's operating system privileges, granting the attacker a reverse shell with root/administrative access. From this position, the attacker reconfigures NAT rules to redirect internal traffic, establishes persistent backdoor access, exfiltrates routing tables and VPN configurations, and uses the compromised router as a pivot point to launch attacks against internal network resources that trust traffic from the gateway device. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 05, 2026
Buffer overflow in UTT HiPER 1250GW router firmware (versions ≤3.2.7-210907-180535) allows authenticated remote attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact. The vulnerability resides in the strcpy function within /goform/formNatStaticMap endpoint, where manipulation of the NatBind parameter triggers memory corruption. Publicly available exploit code exists (GitHub POC published), significantly lowering exploitation barriers for threat actors with valid credentials. CVSS 8.8 severity reflects network-based attack vector with low complexity, though low-privilege authentication is required, reducing immediate internet-scale exploitation risk.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis from the provided data sources. Organizations should immediately contact UTT technical support to request patched firmware builds addressing CVE-2026-5566 and inquire about fixed versions beyond 3.2.7-210907-180535. Until patches are available, implement compensating controls: (1) disable remote management access to the router's web interface, restricting administration to local console or dedicated out-of-band management networks only; (2) implement strict network segmentation to isolate router management interfaces from untrusted networks using firewall rules or VLANs; (3) enforce strong authentication policies including complex passwords and account lockout mechanisms to prevent credential compromise; (4) monitor authentication logs for suspicious login attempts or unusual administrative activity targeting /goform/ endpoints; (5) if remote management is operationally required, restrict access via VPN with multi-factor authentication and IP allowlisting. Organizations should prioritize firmware updates once available and verify fix effectiveness through re-testing with the published POC exploit (https://github.com/Moxxkidd/CVE/issues/1).

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability affects the UTT HiPER 1250GW enterprise gateway router, specifically firmware versions up to and including 3.2.7-210907-180535. The flaw is classified as CWE-120 (Classic Buffer Overflow), occurring in the strcpy function-a notoriously unsafe C library function that performs no bounds checking when copying strings. The vulnerable code path exists in /goform/formNatStaticMap, which handles NAT static mapping configuration through the web management interface. When processing the NatBind parameter, the application fails to validate input length before copying data into a fixed-size buffer, allowing attackers to write beyond allocated memory boundaries. This is a stack-based or heap-based buffer overflow depending on where the destination buffer resides, enabling control of program execution flow through overwriting return addresses or function pointers. The CPE identifier (cpe:2.3:a:utt:hiper_1250gw) confirms this affects UTT's enterprise networking product line, which is commonly deployed in small-to-medium business and branch office environments.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was detected in UTT HiPER 1250GW up to 3.2.7-210907-180535. This affects the function strcpy of the file /goform/formNatStaticMap. Performing a manipulation of the argument NatBind results in buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit is now public and may be used.
Executive ViewAI
UTT HiPER 1250GW routers running firmware versions 3.2.7 and earlier contain a buffer overflow vulnerability that allows authenticated users to execute arbitrary code, potentially compromising network integrity and sensitive data. With public exploit code available and no vendor patch released, organizations using this router model face elevated risk if administrative credentials are exposed or insider threats exist. Immediate firmware version audits and access controls are critical to mitigate this threat.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict administrative access to the router to trusted internal networks only via firewall rules; (2) Disable remote management capabilities if not operationally required; (3) Monitor router authentication logs for suspicious login attempts; (4) Enforce unique, complex administrative passwords and rotate credentials monthly; (5) Segment router management traffic on a dedicated administrative VLAN separate from production networks; (6) Establish daily backups of router configuration to enable rapid recovery if compromise is detected.
