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 | Exploitation requires authenticated access (CVSS PR:L) to the TRENDnet TEW-432BRP web administration interface and network reachability to the /goform/formSetRoute endpoint, specifically the ability to submit the formSetRoute form with attacker-controlled ip, mask, and gateway parameters. Limiting factors include: the admin web UI must be reachable from the attacker's network position (LAN by default, or WAN only if remote management is enabled), valid administrator credentials are required (often weakened in practice by default/unchanged passwords on legacy SOHO devices), and the target must be the specific TEW-432BRP hardware running firmware 3.10B20. No user interaction is required (UI:N), and no special non-default configuration is needed beyond a logged-in administrative session. |
| Impact | CVSS 4.0 scores this 7.4 with vector AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H, signaling network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation that requires low privileges (an authenticated session on the router's web UI) and yields high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the device itself with no scope change. Exploit maturity E:P (Proof-of-Concept) aligns with the public GitHub PoC, and the vulnerability is reported by VulDB rather than the vendor. It is not present in CISA KEV and no EPSS score was supplied, so widespread automated exploitation is not currently evidenced; however, default or weak admin credentials on legacy SOHO devices frequently degrade the PR:L barrier in practice. Real-world priority depends heavily on whether any TEW-432BRP units remain Internet-exposed - the EOL status (since 2009) means no patch will ever ship, so any remaining deployments are permanently vulnerable. Note that the description states the attack is possible remotely while CVSS requires PR:L; this is consistent (authenticated remote attack) but defenders should verify whether the admin interface is exposed to WAN. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained admin credentials to the router's web interface - through default-credential reuse, phishing, or LAN-side access - sends a crafted HTTP POST to /goform/formSetRoute with an oversized ip, mask, or gateway value, overflowing a stack buffer in formSetRoute and overwriting the return address to redirect execution. Because legacy SOHO firmware typically lacks ASLR and non-executable stacks, the attacker can stage shellcode for the router's MIPS architecture and gain persistent control of the gateway, pivoting to intercept or redirect all LAN traffic. A public PoC at the referenced GitHub repository demonstrates the parameter manipulation, lowering the skill barrier. |

Stack-based buffer overflow in TRENDnet TEW-432BRP router firmware 3.10B20 allows authenticated remote attackers to corrupt memory by sending crafted ip, mask, or gateway parameters to the formSetRoute handler at /goform/formSetRoute, potentially achieving arbitrary code execution on the device. Publicly available exploit code exists (disclosed via VulDB and a GitHub PoC), and because the product has been end-of-life since 2009 the vendor has explicitly declined to issue a fix. No active exploitation has been confirmed via CISA KEV at time of analysis.

Stack-based buffer overflow in TRENDnet TEW-432BRP 3.10B20 router firmware allows authenticated remote attackers to corrupt memory via the formSetRoute handler at /goform/formSetRoute by manipulating the ip, mask, or gateway parameters. Publicly available exploit code exists (disclosed via VulDB and a GitHub PoC), and the vendor has formally declined to fix the issue because the device has been end-of-life since 2009. No active exploitation is confirmed in CISA KEV, but the combination of public PoC, network-reachable management interface, and permanent unpatched status makes any internet-exposed instance a durable target.
Stack-based buffer overflow in the TRENDnet TEW-432BRP wireless router (firmware 3.10B20) allows authenticated remote attackers to corrupt memory by submitting oversized ip, mask, or gateway values to the formSetRoute handler at /goform/formSetRoute, enabling code execution or device crash. Publicly available exploit code exists. The vendor has confirmed the device is end-of-life since 2009 and will not issue a fix, leaving every deployed unit permanently vulnerable.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and none will be issued because the device has been EOL since 2009. The only durable remediation is to decommission and replace the TEW-432BRP with a currently-supported router that receives security updates. Until replacement, compensating controls include disabling remote/WAN administration so /goform/formSetRoute is not reachable from the Internet (trade-off: loss of remote management convenience), restricting LAN access to the admin interface via firewall rules or VLAN segmentation so only a trusted management host can reach the web UI (trade-off: additional network configuration overhead), enforcing strong unique admin credentials and changing the default password to raise the PR:L barrier against opportunistic abuse, and monitoring HTTP POST requests to /goform/formSetRoute for anomalous ip/mask/gateway field lengths.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The flaw resides in the formSetRoute function exposed through the router's web administration goform interface (/goform/formSetRoute), a common CGI-style endpoint pattern in legacy SOHO routers. CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow) indicates that user-supplied values for the ip, mask, and gateway HTTP parameters are copied into fixed-size stack buffers without proper length validation, allowing an attacker to overwrite the saved return address or adjacent stack frame data. The affected CPE cpe:2.3:a:trendnet:tew-432brp:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* identifies the TRENDnet TEW-432BRP 802.11g wireless router, a consumer device whose firmware (typically MIPS-based with limited mitigations such as no ASLR or stack canaries) makes such overflows historically reliable for code execution.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was determined in TRENDnet TEW-432BRP 3.10B20. Affected by this vulnerability is the function formSetRoute of the file /goform/formSetRoute. This manipulation of the argument ip/mask/gateway causes stack-based buffer overflow. The attack is possible to be carried out remotely. The exploit has been publicly disclosed and may be utilized. The vendor explains: "This product has been EOL for 15 years (since 2009). As the item has been EOL for such a long time, we are not able to replicate or fix any vulnerabilities." This vulnerability only affects products that are no longer supported by the maintainer.
Executive ViewAI
The TRENDnet TEW-432BRP router, end-of-life since 2009, contains a remotely exploitable memory corruption vulnerability that authenticated attackers can abuse to execute arbitrary code; organizations still deploying these legacy network devices lack vendor patch options and face direct compromise risk from publicly available exploit code. Immediate inventory assessment and replacement planning are required to eliminate exposure.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: implement strict network segmentation to isolate affected routers from critical systems and data flows; restrict authenticated administrative access exclusively to physically-secured administrative networks or VPN-based out-of-band management; disable remote management protocols (Telnet, HTTP); implement network-based monitoring and alerting for suspicious traffic patterns targeting device management ports; accelerate device replacement as primary remediation, as patch availability is not an option for this end-of-life product.
