CVE-2025-15459 is a buffer overflow vulnerability identified in the UTT 进取 520W device firmware version 1.7.7-180627. The vulnerability arises from unsafe use of the strcpy function in the /goform/formUser endpoint, specifically when processing the passwd1 parameter. Since strcpy does not perform bounds checking, an attacker can supply an overly long passwd1 argument to overflow the buffer, potentially overwriting adjacent memory. This can lead to arbitrary code execution, denial of service, or system compromise. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable without requiring authentication or user interaction, increasing its risk profile. The CVSS 4.0 score of 8.7 reflects its high severity, with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. The vulnerability affects a specific firmware version, and no patches or vendor responses have been issued. Public disclosure of exploit code increases the likelihood of exploitation. The lack of vendor engagement and patch availability means affected organizations must rely on network-level mitigations and monitoring. The vulnerability impacts the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the device and potentially the broader network it supports.

For European organizations, exploitation of CVE-2025-15459 could lead to full compromise of affected UTT 进取 520W devices, which are likely used as network infrastructure components such as routers or gateways. This could result in unauthorized access to internal networks, interception or manipulation of sensitive data, disruption of network services, and potential lateral movement within corporate environments. Given the remote exploitability without authentication, attackers can target exposed devices over the internet or less protected internal networks. The absence of vendor patches increases the risk of prolonged exposure. Organizations in sectors with critical infrastructure or sensitive data, such as finance, telecommunications, and government, face heightened risks. Additionally, compromised devices could be leveraged as footholds for broader cyber espionage or ransomware campaigns. The impact extends beyond individual devices to the overall security posture and trustworthiness of organizational networks.

1. Immediately identify and inventory all UTT 进取 520W devices running firmware version 1.7.7-180627 within the network. 2. Restrict network access to these devices by implementing strict firewall rules and network segmentation to limit exposure to untrusted networks, especially the internet. 3. Disable remote management interfaces or restrict them to trusted IP addresses only. 4. Monitor network traffic and device logs for unusual activity, particularly attempts to access /goform/formUser or anomalous passwd1 parameter usage. 5. Employ intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures or heuristics targeting buffer overflow attempts against this endpoint. 6. If possible, replace affected devices with alternative hardware from vendors with active security support. 7. Engage with UTT or authorized resellers to seek firmware updates or official patches, and maintain awareness of any future vendor advisories. 8. Implement compensating controls such as VPN access for device management and enforce strong authentication where applicable. 9. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on network infrastructure devices. 10. Educate IT staff about this vulnerability and ensure incident response plans include scenarios involving network device compromise.
