CVE-2026-3815

8.8 HIGH

📋 TL;DR

A buffer overflow vulnerability in UTT HiPER 810G routers allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary code by exploiting the strcpy function in the /goform/formApMail endpoint. This affects all versions up to 1.7.7-1711. Attackers can compromise the router remotely without authentication.

💻 Affected Systems

Products:
  • UTT HiPER 810G
Versions: All versions up to and including 1.7.7-1711
Operating Systems: Embedded router OS
Default Config Vulnerable: ⚠️ Yes
Notes: The vulnerable endpoint /goform/formApMail appears to be accessible by default. No special configuration is required for exploitation.

📦 What is this software?

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact

🔴

Worst Case

Complete router compromise leading to persistent backdoor installation, network traffic interception, lateral movement to internal networks, and device bricking.

🟠

Likely Case

Router takeover enabling man-in-the-middle attacks, credential theft, DNS hijacking, and botnet recruitment.

🟢

If Mitigated

Limited impact if network segmentation isolates the router and external access is restricted, though local network attacks remain possible.

🌐 Internet-Facing: HIGH - The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without authentication and public exploit code exists.
🏢 Internal Only: HIGH - Even internally, the vulnerability can be exploited by any network user to compromise the router.

🎯 Exploit Status

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

Public exploit code is available on GitHub, making exploitation trivial for attackers with basic skills.

🛠️ Fix & Mitigation

✅ Official Fix

Patch Version: Unknown

Vendor Advisory: No vendor advisory found in provided references

Restart Required: Yes

Instructions:

1. Check vendor website for firmware updates
2. If update available, download and verify checksum
3. Backup current configuration
4. Upload new firmware via web interface
5. Reboot router
6. Restore configuration if needed

🔧 Temporary Workarounds

Block External Access

linux

Prevent external exploitation by blocking WAN access to router management interface

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -j DROP
iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 443 -j DROP

Disable Vulnerable Endpoint

linux

Block access to the vulnerable /goform/formApMail endpoint if possible

iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -m string --string "/goform/formApMail" --algo bm -j DROP

🧯 If You Can't Patch

  • Segment router on isolated network VLAN to limit lateral movement
  • Implement strict firewall rules to allow only necessary traffic to/from router

🔍 How to Verify

Check if Vulnerable:

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

Check Version:

curl -s http://router-ip/ | grep -i 'version' || ssh admin@router-ip 'cat /proc/version'

Verify Fix Applied:

Verify firmware version is above 1.7.7-1711 and test if /goform/formApMail endpoint still exists

📡 Detection & Monitoring

Log Indicators:

  • Multiple POST requests to /goform/formApMail with long parameters
  • Unusual process execution in router logs
  • Configuration changes without authorization

Network Indicators:

  • Unusual outbound connections from router
  • Traffic patterns suggesting man-in-the-middle
  • DNS queries to suspicious domains

SIEM Query:

source="router_logs" AND (url="/goform/formApMail" AND content_length>1000) OR (process="malicious_binary")
