CVE-2026-2904

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

A buffer overflow vulnerability in the UTT HiPER 810G router's web interface allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by exploiting the strcpy function. This affects all systems running version 1.7.7-171114 of the firmware. Attackers can compromise the router without authentication.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • UTT HiPER 810G
Versions: 1.7.7-171114
Operating Systems: Embedded Linux (router firmware)
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: Affects the web management interface which is typically enabled by default.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete system compromise leading to router takeover, network traffic interception, lateral movement to internal systems, and persistent backdoor installation.

🟠

Likely Case

Router compromise leading to network disruption, credential theft, and potential pivot point for attacking internal systems.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if network segmentation prevents lateral movement and external access is restricted.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is remotely exploitable and the exploit is publicly available.
🏢 Internal Only: MEDIUM - Internal attackers could exploit this, but requires network access to the router's management interface.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Exploit details are publicly disclosed and the vulnerability is in a commonly exploited function (strcpy).

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: Unknown

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

Check vendor website for firmware updates. If available, download latest firmware and apply through web interface. No specific patch version is known for this CVE.

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Disable Remote Management

all

Disable web management interface access from external networks

Access router web interface > Administration > Remote Management > Disable

Network Segmentation

all

Place router on isolated management VLAN with strict access controls

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Replace affected router with supported model
  • Implement strict firewall rules to block all external access to router management interface

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

Check firmware version in router web interface: Login > System > Firmware Upgrade. If version is 1.7.7-171114, system is vulnerable.

Check Version:

No CLI command available. Must check through web interface.

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version has been updated to a version later than 1.7.7-171114

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple failed login attempts to /goform/ConfigExceptAli
  • Unusual POST requests to router management interface
  • Buffer overflow patterns in web server logs

Network Indicators:

  • External IP addresses accessing router management port (typically 80/443)
  • Unusual traffic patterns to router from external sources

SIEM Query:

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