CVE-2026-1140

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

This vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code on UTT 进取 520W routers by exploiting a buffer overflow in the ConfigExceptAli function. Attackers can take full control of affected devices without authentication. All users running version 1.7.7-180627 are vulnerable.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • UTT 进取 520W
Versions: 1.7.7-180627
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: All devices running this specific firmware version are vulnerable by default. No special configuration required.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete device compromise allowing attackers to install persistent malware, pivot to internal networks, intercept all network traffic, or brick the device.

🟠

Likely Case

Remote code execution leading to device takeover, credential theft, and use as a foothold for further network attacks.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if device is isolated behind firewalls with strict network segmentation and access controls.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and public exploits exist, making internet-exposed devices immediate targets.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal devices are still vulnerable to attackers who gain network access, but require initial foothold.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Public exploit code exists on GitHub, making this easily weaponizable. No authentication required for exploitation.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: None available

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

No official patch available. Vendor has not responded to disclosure. Consider replacing affected devices or implementing strict network controls.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Network Segmentation

all

Isolate affected routers from critical networks and internet exposure

Access Control Lists

linux

Restrict access to router management interface to trusted IPs only

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

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Replace affected devices with supported alternatives
  • Implement strict network monitoring and anomaly detection for router traffic

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check firmware version via web interface at http://router-ip/ or via SSH: cat /etc/version

Check Version:

cat /etc/version 2>/dev/null || grep -i version /proc/cpuinfo

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version is no longer 1.7.7-180627

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Unusual POST requests to /goform/ConfigExceptAli
  • Multiple failed buffer overflow attempts in system logs
  • Unexpected process crashes or restarts

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from router
  • Traffic spikes to/from router management interface
  • Suspicious payloads in HTTP POST requests

SIEM Query:

source="router_logs" AND (uri="/goform/ConfigExceptAli" OR message="*buffer*" OR message="*overflow*")
