CVE-2025-10392

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on Mercury KM08-708H GiGA WiFi Wave2 routers by sending specially crafted HTTP requests with manipulated Host headers, causing a stack-based buffer overflow. It affects all systems running the vulnerable firmware version. Attackers can exploit this without authentication to potentially take full control of affected devices.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • Mercury KM08-708H GiGA WiFi Wave2
Versions: 1.1.14
Operating Systems: Embedded router OS
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All devices running the affected firmware version are vulnerable by default. The HTTP service is typically enabled for management.

⚠️ Manual Verification Required

This CVE does not have specific version information in our database, so automatic vulnerability detection cannot determine if your system is affected.

Why? The CVE database entry doesn't specify which versions are vulnerable (no version ranges provided by the vendor/NVD).

  3. Test if the vulnerability is exploitable in your environment
  4. Consider updating to the latest version as a precaution

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Remote code execution leading to complete device compromise, lateral movement to internal networks, persistent backdoor installation, and botnet recruitment.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution allowing attackers to modify router settings, intercept network traffic, or use the device as a pivot point for further attacks.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if devices are behind firewalls with strict ingress filtering or in isolated network segments.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

Public PoC: ⚠️ Yes
Weaponized: LIKELY
Unauthenticated Exploit: ⚠️ Yes
Complexity: LOW

Public exploit details are available in the GitHub repository. The vulnerability requires minimal technical skill to exploit due to the public proof-of-concept.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: Unknown

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check vendor website for firmware updates
2. Download latest firmware if available
3. Upload firmware through router web interface
4. Reboot router after update

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable Remote Management

all

Disable HTTP/HTTPS management from WAN interface

Network Segmentation

all

Place routers in isolated VLAN with strict firewall rules

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict network access controls to limit exposure to management interfaces
  • Monitor for suspicious HTTP requests to router management interface

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check firmware version in router web interface under System Status or Administration section

Check Version:

Check via web interface or SSH if enabled: cat /etc/version or similar

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version has been updated to a version later than 1.1.14

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual HTTP requests with long Host headers
  • Multiple failed login attempts followed by buffer overflow patterns

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP requests with abnormally long Host headers to router management port
  • Traffic patterns suggesting exploit delivery

SIEM Query:

http.url:* AND http.host:* AND (http.host.length > 100) AND dst.port:80 OR dst.port:443 AND dst.ip:[router_ip]
