CVE-2025-14139 is a buffer overflow vulnerability identified in the UTT 进取 520W device, version 1.7.7-180627. The vulnerability arises from unsafe use of the strcpy function in the /goform/formConfigDnsFilterGlobal endpoint, where the timeRangeName parameter is not properly validated or bounded, allowing an attacker to overflow the buffer. This memory corruption can lead to unpredictable behavior, including denial of service or potential arbitrary code execution. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable with low attack complexity, requiring only low-level privileges (PR:L) but no user interaction. The CVSS v4.0 score is 6.9 (medium severity), reflecting the significant impact on availability and integrity, but limited confidentiality impact and no scope change. The exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the risk of exploitation, although no active exploitation has been reported yet. The vendor was notified early but has not issued any response or patch, leaving affected devices exposed. The vulnerability affects a specific firmware version, indicating that organizations running this version are vulnerable. Given the nature of the device as a network appliance, exploitation could disrupt network services or allow attackers to gain control over the device, potentially pivoting to internal networks.

For European organizations, the impact of this vulnerability can be significant, particularly for those relying on UTT 进取 520W devices in their network infrastructure. Successful exploitation could lead to denial of service, disrupting critical network functions and causing operational downtime. In worst-case scenarios, attackers might achieve arbitrary code execution, compromising device integrity and enabling further lateral movement within the network. This poses risks to confidentiality if attackers access sensitive network configurations or data. The lack of vendor response and patches increases exposure time, raising the likelihood of exploitation. Sectors such as telecommunications, government, and critical infrastructure in Europe that deploy these devices are at heightened risk. Additionally, the medium severity rating suggests that while the vulnerability is serious, exploitation requires some privileges, somewhat limiting the attack surface. However, the public availability of exploit code lowers the barrier for attackers. The overall impact includes potential service outages, increased incident response costs, and reputational damage for affected organizations.

Given the absence of vendor patches, European organizations should implement immediate compensating controls. First, restrict network access to the vulnerable device’s management interfaces, ideally limiting access to trusted administrative networks or VPNs. Deploy network-level intrusion detection and prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures or heuristics to detect attempts to exploit the strcpy buffer overflow in the /goform/formConfigDnsFilterGlobal endpoint. Monitor logs and network traffic for unusual or malformed requests targeting this endpoint. If possible, isolate the device from critical network segments to contain potential compromise. Consider upgrading or replacing the device with a vendor-supported alternative if feasible. Engage with UTT or authorized resellers to demand a patch or firmware update. Conduct regular vulnerability scanning to identify devices running the affected firmware version. Finally, develop and test incident response plans specific to network device compromise scenarios to reduce recovery time if exploitation occurs.
