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 | Attacker requires network reachability to the TEW-432BRP web management interface (typically TCP/80 on the LAN, or WAN if remote management is enabled) and valid low-privilege authenticated access to the management UI (CVSS PR:L) - in practice this means knowledge of the admin password, which on many deployed units remains the factory default. The vulnerable code path is the formSetMACFilter handler at /goform/formSetMACFilter triggered by manipulating the filter_name argument, so the MAC filter configuration feature must be reachable in the affected web UI. Exploitation is limited to the specific TEW-432BRP model running firmware 3.10B20 (and per the wildcard CPE, plausibly all firmware revisions of this model); no user interaction is required (UI:N), but the requirement for valid admin credentials and the model's age/limited installed base constrain mass exploitation. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 vector (AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H) indicates network-reachable, low-complexity exploitation requiring low privileges (PR:L) - meaning an authenticated session to the router's management interface is needed - with high confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact on the device itself (no scope change). The E:P (Proof-of-Concept) exploit maturity flag and the public GitHub PoC raise practical risk, but no CISA KEV listing, no EPSS score, and no SSVC decision data are provided in the input, so widespread automated exploitation cannot be confirmed. Realistic risk is bounded by three factors: (1) the device has been EOL for 15+ years so installed base is shrinking, (2) PR:L requires valid admin credentials (commonly default admin/admin on legacy TRENDnet gear, which materially elevates risk if WAN-side management or weak passwords are in use), and (3) no patch will ever be issued - making compensating controls the only mitigation path. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained or guessed administrator credentials to the router's web UI (often trivial on legacy SOHO devices with default passwords) sends a crafted HTTP POST to /goform/formSetMACFilter with an overlong filter_name value, overflowing the stack buffer to overwrite the saved return address and redirect execution to attacker-controlled shellcode or a ROP chain. A publicly available proof-of-concept is published on GitHub by researcher wudipjq, lowering the skill barrier; successful exploitation yields code execution on the router, enabling DNS hijacking, traffic interception, or pivoting into the LAN. |

Stack-based buffer overflow in TRENDnet TEW-432BRP 3.10B20 router firmware allows authenticated remote attackers to corrupt memory via the filter_name parameter of the formSetMACFilter handler at /goform/formSetMACFilter, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution or device compromise. Publicly available exploit code exists (published via GitHub), and the vendor has explicitly stated they will not patch because the device reached end-of-life in 2009. Despite a CVSS 4.0 score of 7.4, no CISA KEV listing or EPSS data is provided in the source intelligence.

Stack-based buffer overflow in TRENDnet TEW-432BRP 3.10B20 router allows remote authenticated attackers to corrupt memory via the filter_name parameter of the formSetMACFilter handler at /goform/formSetMACFilter. Publicly available exploit code exists, and the device is end-of-life since 2009 with TRENDnet explicitly refusing to issue a fix, leaving every deployed unit permanently vulnerable. CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.4 reflects high impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability with low attacker privileges required.
Stack-based buffer overflow in TRENDnet TEW-432BRP 3.10B20 router firmware allows remote authenticated attackers to corrupt memory and likely achieve arbitrary code execution by sending a crafted filter_name argument to /goform/formSetMACFilter.

RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis, and the vendor has explicitly stated none will be produced because the TEW-432BRP has been EOL since 2009. The only durable remediation is device replacement with a currently supported router; this is the recommended action. Until replacement, restrict the router's web management interface to the LAN only (disable WAN-side / remote management), change default administrative credentials to a long unique password to limit the PR:L exploitation prerequisite, place the device on an isolated network segment with no access to sensitive resources, and consider blocking outbound traffic from the device to detect post-exploitation callbacks - the trade-off is loss of remote administration convenience and added network complexity.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The TEW-432BRP is a legacy TRENDnet 802.11g wireless broadband router whose web management interface relies on /goform/ CGI-style endpoints typical of embedded BOA/GoAhead-derived web servers found in older SOHO routers. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-121 (Stack-based Buffer Overflow): the formSetMACFilter handler copies the user-controlled filter_name argument into a fixed-size stack buffer without bounds checking, allowing the saved return address and adjacent stack frame data to be overwritten. On MIPS/ARM-based SOHO routers of this era, such overflows commonly lack stack canaries, ASLR, and NX, making reliable control-flow hijacking feasible.

Lifecycle Timeline
3DescriptionCVE.org
A security vulnerability has been detected in TRENDnet TEW-432BRP 3.10B20. Impacted is the function formSetMACFilter of the file /goform/formSetMACFilter. The manipulation of the argument filter_name leads to stack-based buffer overflow. Remote exploitation of the attack is possible. The exploit has been disclosed publicly and may be used. 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 firmware (version 3.10B20) contains a stack-based buffer overflow allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on the device, with publicly available exploit code identified. The device reached end-of-life in 2009 without vendor patching commitment, meaning any legacy deployments present unmitigated risk of network compromise.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Immediately discontinue use if operationally feasible; (2) If device must be retained, implement strict network segmentation and restrictive firewall rules limiting access to essential management IP ranges only; (3) Enforce strong, unique administrative credentials; (4) Monitor for indicators of compromise; (5) Prioritize hardware replacement within 30 days.
