CVE-2025-11355 is a buffer overflow vulnerability identified in the UTT 1250GW device firmware up to version v2v3.2.2-200710. The flaw exists in the strcpy function within the /goform/aspChangeChannel endpoint, where the 'pvid' parameter is improperly handled, allowing an attacker to overflow the buffer remotely. This vulnerability requires no user interaction and no authentication, making it highly accessible to remote attackers. The buffer overflow can lead to arbitrary code execution or denial of service, severely impacting the device's confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability has a CVSS 4.0 base score of 8.7, indicating high severity, with network attack vector, low attack complexity, and no privileges or user interaction required. Despite early vendor notification, no patch or mitigation has been released, and exploit code has been publicly disclosed, increasing the likelihood of exploitation. The device is typically used in network infrastructure, so exploitation could compromise network operations or allow attackers to pivot into internal networks. The lack of vendor response and public exploit availability make this a critical concern for organizations relying on UTT 1250GW devices.

For European organizations, the exploitation of CVE-2025-11355 could lead to severe operational disruptions, including denial of service or full compromise of the affected network device. This could result in loss of network availability, unauthorized access to internal network segments, and potential data breaches. Critical infrastructure providers, telecommunications companies, and enterprises using UTT 1250GW devices in their network topology are particularly at risk. The ability to exploit this vulnerability remotely without authentication increases the attack surface and risk of widespread attacks. Given the absence of a vendor patch, organizations face prolonged exposure, which could be leveraged by threat actors for espionage, sabotage, or ransomware deployment. The impact extends beyond the device itself, potentially affecting connected systems and services reliant on the device for network routing or security functions.

Since no official patch or update is available from the vendor, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. These include: 1) Isolating UTT 1250GW devices from direct internet exposure by placing them behind firewalls or VPNs; 2) Implementing strict network segmentation to limit access to the device management interfaces; 3) Deploying intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures or heuristics to detect exploitation attempts targeting the /goform/aspChangeChannel endpoint; 4) Monitoring network traffic for anomalous requests containing suspicious 'pvid' parameters; 5) Restricting administrative access to trusted IP addresses only; 6) Considering device replacement or firmware downgrade if feasible and secure; 7) Maintaining comprehensive logging and alerting to detect exploitation attempts early; 8) Engaging with cybersecurity vendors or communities for potential unofficial patches or workarounds; 9) Preparing incident response plans specific to network device compromise scenarios. These steps go beyond generic advice by focusing on network-level controls and active monitoring tailored to this vulnerability's characteristics.
