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 1200GW firmware versions up to 2.5.3-170306. Attacker must have login credentials to access the /goform/formNatStaticMap endpoint and manipulate the NatBind parameter to trigger buffer overflow via strcpy function. |
| Impact | Real-world risk is HIGH despite requiring low-privilege authentication (CVSS PR:L). The CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 accurately reflects severity: network attack vector (AV:N) enables remote exploitation, low attack complexity (AC:L) means no special conditions required, and complete impact triad (C:H/I:H/A:H) allows full device compromise. The exploit maturity indicator (E:P for Proof-of-Concept) combined with confirmed publicly available exploit code on GitHub substantially increases exploitation probability. Authentication requirement provides minimal protection as many UTT devices use default credentials or weak passwords in deployment. No EPSS score available, but historical data shows router vulnerabilities with public POCs typically see exploitation within 30-90 days. CISA KEV status not confirmed, suggesting no confirmed active exploitation campaigns yet, but the public POC significantly lowers this threshold. SSVC framework assessment: Exploitation=POC, Automatable=Yes (standard HTTP request), Technical Impact=Total (full system control). This combination yields a 'scheduled' or 'out-of-cycle' patching priority. Primary risk: devices exposed to internet management interfaces or compromised internal networks where attackers have obtained low-privilege credentials. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An external attacker scans internet IP ranges identifying UTT HiPER 1200GW devices via fingerprinting of the web management interface on common ports (80/443/8080). After identifying a target device, the attacker attempts authentication using credential stuffing with common default passwords (admin/admin, admin/password) or previously compromised credentials from corporate breaches. Upon successful authentication with low-privilege user account, the attacker crafts a malicious HTTP POST request to /goform/formNatStaticMap containing a NatBind parameter with 500+ byte payload designed to overflow the strcpy destination buffer and overwrite the stack return address. The payload includes shellcode to establish reverse shell connection back to attacker infrastructure, executing with the privilege level of the web server process (typically root on embedded devices). The attacker gains persistent remote access to the router, enabling network traffic interception, internal network pivoting, firmware implant installation, or DDoS botnet recruitment. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Apr 13, 2026
Buffer overflow in UTT HiPER 1200GW router versions up to 2.5.3-170306 enables remote authenticated attackers to execute arbitrary code with high privileges via malformed NatBind parameters to the /goform/formNatStaticMap endpoint. Publicly available exploit code exists (GitHub POC published), significantly lowering exploitation barrier. EPSS data not available, but combination of network attack vector, low complexity (CVSS AC:L), and public POC indicates elevated real-world exploitation risk for internet-facing devices with weak credential protection.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis based on available intelligence sources. Organizations deploying UTT HiPER 1200GW devices should immediately implement the following mitigation controls: disable remote management interface access from untrusted networks (WAN), restrict administrative access to specific trusted IP ranges via firewall rules, enforce strong unique credentials replacing any default passwords, enable administrative access logging and monitoring for suspicious NAT configuration attempts targeting /goform/formNatStaticMap endpoint. Consider network segmentation to isolate vulnerable devices from untrusted network zones. Monitor UTT Technologies official channels and VulDB entry vuldb.com/vuln/357108 for patch availability announcements. If devices must remain internet-accessible, deploy web application firewall or reverse proxy with input validation to filter malformed NatBind parameters exceeding expected length constraints. Long-term remediation requires vendor firmware update addressing the unsafe strcpy usage; organizations should engage UTT support channels to request patched firmware and establish vulnerability disclosure timeline.

Technical ContextAI · show details
This vulnerability resides in the NAT static mapping configuration interface of UTT HiPER 1200GW enterprise router firmware. The affected strcpy function in /goform/formNatStaticMap fails to validate the length of user-supplied NatBind parameter before copying to a fixed-size stack buffer, creating a classic CWE-120 stack-based buffer overflow. The strcpy C function performs no bounds checking and continues copying until a null terminator is encountered, allowing attackers to overwrite adjacent memory including return addresses and function pointers. The /goform/ path typically handles web-based management interface requests in embedded router firmware, suggesting this is part of the administrative CGI handler. CPE identifier cpe:2.3:a:utt:hiper_1200gw confirms UTT (Shanghai UTT Technologies) HiPER 1200GW as the affected product line. This class of vulnerability is particularly dangerous in SOHO/SMB network devices due to long device lifecycles and inconsistent patching practices.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A security vulnerability has been detected in UTT HiPER 1200GW up to 2.5.3-170306. This vulnerability affects the function strcpy of the file /goform/formNatStaticMap. The manipulation of the argument NatBind leads to buffer overflow. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used.
Executive ViewAI
CVE-2026-6186 is a high-severity remote code execution vulnerability affecting UTT HiPER 1200GW routers through version 2.5.3-170306, exploitable by authenticated users with publicly available exploit code. Organizations operating these devices face immediate risk of unauthorized system compromise and lateral network access, particularly if internet-facing or used in critical infrastructure segments.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Restrict network access to the /goform/formNatStaticMap endpoint via firewall rules or WAF; (2) Enforce strong administrative credentials and multi-factor authentication where supported; (3) Segment routers on isolated administrative VLANs with no direct internet routing; (4) Monitor for suspicious NatBind parameter submissions in router logs; (5) Disable remote management access if not operationally required. Apply vendor patch immediately upon release.
