| Impact | The CVSS score of 4.5 reflects a low-to-moderate severity rating, with several mitigating factors: the attack vector is adjacent network (AV:A), meaning an attacker must be on the same local network segment; the attack complexity is low (AC:L); but critically, the attacker requires high privileges (PR:H), limiting the practical threat to malicious administrators or highly compromised accounts. The impact is denial of service (availability loss only; confidentiality and integrity are not affected). Real-world risk is constrained because exploitation requires administrative access, local network proximity, and user interaction is not needed. This is not a critical vulnerability for most deployments unless the device is exposed to untrusted local networks or administrative interfaces. No public exploit or active exploitation has been reported, further lowering immediate risk. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | A malicious network administrator or an attacker who has gained administrative credentials through phishing or credential theft gains access to the UTT Aggressive 520W management interface on the local network. The attacker uses the formFtpServerDirConfig function to submit an oversized filename parameter, triggering the buffer overflow and corrupting device memory. This causes the FTP service or the entire device to crash, resulting in denial of service. Exploitation is not complex once administrative access is obtained, but the requirement for high-privilege credentials significantly limits the practical threat surface. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 06, 2026
Buffer overflow in UTT Aggressive 520W v3 v1.7.7-180627 filename parameter of formFtpServerDirConfig function allows authenticated attackers with high privileges to cause denial of service. The vulnerability requires local network access and high-level administrative credentials; no public exploit code or active exploitation has been confirmed at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. Immediate mitigation should focus on restricting administrative access to the FTP server configuration interface: disable FTP server functionality if not required, limit administrative console access to trusted personnel and IP ranges, and apply network segmentation to prevent untrusted hosts from reaching the device's management interface. Firmware upgrades beyond v1.7.7-180627 should be evaluated if available from UTT; consult the device vendor's security advisories at https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2026-31062 and the referenced GitHub disclosure at https://github.com/zxq0408/Vul202601/blob/main/7.md for additional technical details and potential workarounds.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability is a classic stack-based or heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-120: Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input) in the FTP server configuration handler of the UTT Aggressive 520W network device. The formFtpServerDirConfig function fails to properly validate the length of the filename parameter before copying it into a fixed-size buffer, allowing an authenticated administrator to inject malicious input that overwrites adjacent memory. The affected product is a network appliance (likely a gateway or router) running firmware version 1.7.7-180627; the vulnerability is specific to this device model and firmware revision.

SSVC AssessmentENISA
Priority Score
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.
Denial of Service attacks render applications or systems unavailable by overwhelming resources or triggering failure conditions.
