CVE-2025-14191

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on UTT 512W routers through a buffer overflow in the formP2PLimitConfig function. Attackers can exploit this without authentication to potentially take full control of affected devices. All users of UTT 512W routers up to version 1.7.7-171114 are affected.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • UTT 512W router
Versions: Up to and including version 1.7.7-171114
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux/RTOS
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All configurations with the vulnerable firmware version are affected. The vulnerable function is accessible via web interface.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Remote code execution leading to complete device compromise, data theft, network pivoting, and persistent backdoor installation.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution allowing attackers to modify device configuration, intercept traffic, or use device as botnet member.

🟢

If Mitigated

Denial of service if exploit fails or is blocked by network controls, but device remains vulnerable.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - Remote exploitation without authentication makes internet-facing devices prime targets.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Even internally, attackers can exploit this vulnerability if they gain network access.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Proof-of-concept exploit code is publicly available on GitHub. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None available

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

No official patch available. Contact vendor UTT for firmware updates. Consider replacing affected devices if vendor is unresponsive.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate affected routers from critical networks and internet access

Access Control Lists

linux

Block access to router web interface from untrusted networks

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -s ! TRUSTED_NETWORK -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -s ! TRUSTED_NETWORK -j DROP

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Immediately remove affected devices from internet-facing positions
  • Implement strict network segmentation and monitor for exploitation attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check firmware version via web interface at http://router-ip/ or via SSH if enabled. Compare version against affected range.

Check Version:

curl -s http://router-ip/ | grep -i 'firmware\|version' or check web interface System Status page

Verify Fix Applied:

No fix available to verify. Monitor vendor for firmware updates.

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple POST requests to /goform/formP2PLimitConfig
  • Unusual process execution in router logs
  • Configuration changes without authorization

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from router
  • Traffic patterns suggesting command and control communication
  • Exploit payloads in HTTP requests to router

SIEM Query:

source="router_logs" AND (url="/goform/formP2PLimitConfig" OR process="unusual_executable")
