CVE-2025-11323

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

A buffer overflow vulnerability in the UTT 1250GW router's web interface allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by exploiting the strcpy function in the formUserStatusRemark component. This affects all versions up to v2v3.2.2-200710. Attackers can potentially gain full control of affected devices without authentication.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • UTT 1250GW
Versions: All versions up to v2v3.2.2-200710
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux (router firmware)
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the web management interface component. No special configuration required for exploitation.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

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

🟠

Likely Case

Device takeover enabling traffic interception, credential theft, and use as attack platform for further network exploitation.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if device is behind strict firewall rules with no external access, though internal threats remain.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Remote exploitation is possible and public exploit exists for unauthenticated attacks.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Even internally, the vulnerability can be exploited by any network-adjacent attacker.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploit code is publicly available on GitHub. Remote exploitation requires no authentication.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown - vendor did not respond to disclosure

Vendor Advisory: None available

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

No official patch available. Consider replacing affected devices with supported alternatives.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable web management interface

all

Turn off the vulnerable web interface component if not required for operations

Router-specific - check device documentation for disabling web interface

Restrict network access

linux

Apply strict firewall rules to limit access to router management interface

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -s TRUSTED_IP -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -s TRUSTED_IP -j ACCEPT
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Isolate affected devices in separate VLAN with strict access controls
  • Implement network monitoring and IDS/IPS rules to detect exploitation attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check router firmware version via web interface at System > Firmware or via SSH using 'cat /proc/version'

Check Version:

ssh admin@router_ip 'cat /proc/version' or check web interface

Verify Fix Applied:

No fix available to verify. Monitor for vendor updates and check version after any potential future updates.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual POST requests to /goform/formUserStatusRemark with long Username parameters
  • Multiple failed exploitation attempts with varying payload lengths

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual traffic patterns to router management interface from unexpected sources
  • Shellcode patterns in HTTP requests to port 80/443

SIEM Query:

source="router_logs" AND uri="/goform/formUserStatusRemark" AND (username_length>100 OR contains(username,"\x90\x90"))
