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 network-level reachability of the UTT HiPER 1250GW management web interface and a valid low-privilege authenticated session (PR:L per CVSS 4.0 vector). The specific vulnerable code path is triggered only when a POST request is submitted to the /goform/APSecurity_5g endpoint with an oversized value in the cipher parameter. Exploitation is not possible without satisfying the authentication requirement - however, on devices with factory-default credentials, this condition is trivially met. Key limiting factors: the management interface must be reachable on the network (default on LAN; WAN exposure depends on device configuration); valid credentials must be obtained, guessed, or derived from device defaults; and the vulnerable endpoint must not be filtered by access-control rules. No user interaction is required beyond the attacker's own authenticated request. Embedded firmware typically lacks stack canaries and ASLR, removing common exploitation barriers present on hardened platforms. |
| Impact | The CVSS 4.0 base score of 7.4 reflects network-accessible exploitation (AV:N) with low complexity (AC:L), no additional attack requirements (AT:N), low privilege (PR:L), no user interaction (UI:N), and full impact on the vulnerable system's confidentiality, integrity, and availability (VC:H/VI:H/VA:H), with no lateral impact on subsequent systems (SC:N/SI:N/SA:N). The supplemental E:P metric confirms exploit code is publicly available. No CISA KEV listing is present, so active in-the-wild exploitation is not confirmed. However, the convergence of a public PoC, a silent vendor, and no remediation path represents elevated real-world risk beyond the numerical score alone. The primary real-world constraint is the PR:L requirement - exploitation demands a valid low-privilege session on the management interface. On devices using factory-default or weak credentials, this barrier is trivially bypassed, effectively reducing the practical exploitation difficulty to that of an unauthenticated attack. EPSS data was not provided in the input and cannot be assessed. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained low-privilege credentials to the UTT HiPER 1250GW management interface - through default factory credentials, credential stuffing, or phishing - sends a crafted HTTP POST request to /goform/APSecurity_5g with a cipher parameter value exceeding the fixed stack buffer size. The unsafe strcpy call overwrites the return address on the stack, and upon function return, execution is redirected to attacker-controlled shellcode or a ROP gadget chain.

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Aug 05, 2026
Stack-based buffer overflow in UTT HiPER 1250GW firmware (all versions through 3.2.7-210907-180535) enables low-privileged remote attackers to corrupt stack memory and achieve arbitrary code execution by submitting an oversized value to the cipher parameter of the /goform/APSecurity_5g endpoint. A public proof-of-concept exploit is available on GitHub, materially increasing opportunistic abuse risk. No vendor patch exists - the vendor failed to respond to responsible disclosure - leaving no fix-based remediation path at time of analysis.
RemediationAI
No vendor-released patch has been identified at time of analysis. As an immediate compensating control, administrators should restrict access to the device management interface (including /goform/ endpoints) to trusted internal IP ranges using upstream firewall ACLs or the device's own access-control features, preventing low-privileged remote sessions from reaching the vulnerable endpoint. Disabling WAN-side management access entirely eliminates the network-accessible attack surface, though this removes the ability to administer the device remotely. Replacing default or weak management credentials with strong, unique passwords removes the trivial path to satisfying the PR:L requirement. Network segmentation placing the device's management plane on an out-of-band VLAN inaccessible from untrusted hosts is the most robust architectural control available given the absence of a patch. Organizations should monitor VulDB (https://vuldb.com/vuln/385930) for any future firmware updates from UTT. If no patch is released within an acceptable risk window, device replacement with a supported alternative should be evaluated.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The vulnerable component is the 5GHz AP Security configuration form handler (/goform/APSecurity_5g) in the UTT HiPER 1250GW router firmware, scoped by CPE cpe:2.3:a:utt:hiper_1250gw:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. The root cause is CWE-121 (Stack-Based Buffer Overflow): the handler invokes the C standard library function strcpy to copy the attacker-supplied cipher form parameter into a fixed-size stack buffer without validating input length. Because strcpy performs no bounds checking, a sufficiently long input overwrites adjacent stack frames, including the saved return address, redirecting execution flow to attacker-controlled code. This vulnerability class is well-understood in embedded router firmware, where resource constraints routinely lead to the absence of modern mitigations such as stack canaries, ASLR, and non-executable stack regions, making exploitation more reliable than on general-purpose operating systems.

Lifecycle Timeline
2DescriptionCVE.org
A vulnerability was found in UTT HiPER 1250GW up to 3.2.7-210907-180535. Impacted is the function strcpy of the file /goform/APSecurity_5g. Performing a manipulation of the argument cipher results in stack-based buffer overflow. It is possible to initiate the attack remotely. The exploit has been made public and could be used. The vendor was contacted early about this disclosure but did not respond in any way.

Executive ViewAI
UTT HiPER 1250GW wireless access points (firmware versions through 3.2.7-210907-180535) contain a remote code execution vulnerability allowing network attackers to achieve arbitrary code execution on enterprise WiFi infrastructure; publicly available exploit code materially increases opportunistic attack likelihood. Compromised access points can serve as persistent entry points for lateral movement, data interception, and network-wide denial of service. Immediate inventory and isolation of affected devices is required.
No vendor-released patch identified at time of analysis. Interim mitigations: (1) Network segmentation-isolate affected APs on restricted management VLAN with strict ingress/egress filtering; (2) Access control-restrict management interface to administrative networks via firewall ACL, disable remote SSH/HTTP/HTTPS access if not operationally required; (3) Monitor-deploy IDS/WAF rules to detect exploitation attempts against /goform/APSecurity_5g; (4) Operational hardening-limit device functionality to bridge/repeater mode if feature set permits, reducing attack surface; (5) Incident readiness-establish monitoring for command execution indicators on affected devices pending replacement.
