CVE-2025-68706

9.8 CRITICAL

📋 TL;DR

A stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in KuWFi 4G LTE AC900 devices allows attackers to crash the web server or potentially execute arbitrary code by sending specially crafted requests to the /goform/formMultiApnSetting endpoint. This affects devices running GoAhead-Webs HTTP daemon with firmware version 1.0.13. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • KuWFi 4G LTE AC900 wireless router
Versions: Firmware 1.0.13
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: The web interface is typically enabled by default on these devices.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Remote code execution leading to complete device compromise, data theft, and use as a pivot point into internal networks.

🟠

Likely Case

Web server crash causing denial of service and potential device reboot, disrupting network connectivity.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if device is behind firewall with restricted web interface access.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploitation requires sending a specially crafted HTTP POST request to the vulnerable endpoint.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: Not available

Restart Required: No

Instructions:

1. Check vendor website for firmware updates
2. If update available, download and install via web interface
3. Reboot device after installation

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable web interface

all

Disable the HTTP daemon if not required for operation

Network segmentation

all

Place affected devices in isolated network segments

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Implement strict firewall rules to block external access to port 80/443 on affected devices
  • Use network intrusion detection systems to monitor for exploitation attempts

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check firmware version in device web interface or via SSH if available. Version 1.0.13 is vulnerable.

Check Version:

Check web interface admin panel or use curl to query device status

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version has been updated to a version later than 1.0.13

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • HTTP POST requests to /goform/formMultiApnSetting with long pincode parameter
  • Web server crash/restart logs

Network Indicators:

  • HTTP POST requests with unusually long pincode parameter values (>132 bytes)

SIEM Query:

http.method:POST AND http.uri:"/goform/formMultiApnSetting" AND http.param.pincode.length > 132
