CVE-2025-44892 is a medium-severity stack overflow vulnerability identified in the FW-WGS-804HPT device firmware version 1.305b241111. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the 'ownekey' parameter within the web_rmon_alarm_post_rmon_alarm function. Specifically, this function fails to properly validate or limit the size of input data, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow (CWE-121). This type of vulnerability can allow an attacker to overwrite the stack memory, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution, denial of service, or application crashes. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.5, reflecting a network attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), and limited confidentiality and integrity impacts (C:L/I:L) with no availability impact (A:N). The vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, making it accessible remotely by unauthenticated attackers. However, no known exploits are currently reported in the wild, and no patches or vendor advisories are available at this time. The affected product appears to be a specific firmware version of the FW-WGS-804HPT device, though the vendor and product details are not explicitly provided, which may complicate identification and mitigation efforts. Overall, this vulnerability represents a moderate risk due to its remote exploitability and potential to compromise device integrity and confidentiality.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-44892 depends largely on the deployment of the FW-WGS-804HPT device within their infrastructure. If these devices are used in critical network environments, such as enterprise networks, industrial control systems, or telecommunications infrastructure, exploitation could lead to unauthorized access, data leakage, or disruption of monitoring functions. The stack overflow could be leveraged to execute arbitrary code remotely, potentially allowing attackers to pivot within the network or exfiltrate sensitive information. Given the vulnerability does not affect availability directly, denial-of-service impacts may be limited but still possible through crashes. Confidentiality and integrity impacts, while rated low, could be significant if the device handles sensitive monitoring data or controls critical network functions. European organizations with stringent data protection regulations (e.g., GDPR) must consider the risk of data breaches resulting from exploitation. Additionally, the lack of patches or vendor guidance increases the risk exposure until mitigations are implemented. The vulnerability's remote and unauthenticated nature heightens the threat, especially in environments where these devices are exposed to untrusted networks or the internet.

1. Immediate network segmentation: Isolate FW-WGS-804HPT devices from untrusted networks and restrict access to management interfaces to trusted internal networks only. 2. Implement strict firewall rules to block external access to the device's web management interface, especially from the internet. 3. Monitor network traffic for anomalous requests targeting the 'ownekey' parameter or unusual POST requests to the web_rmon_alarm_post_rmon_alarm function endpoint. 4. Conduct thorough asset inventory to identify all instances of FW-WGS-804HPT devices and verify firmware versions. 5. Engage with the device vendor or supplier to obtain official patches or firmware updates addressing this vulnerability as soon as they become available. 6. Until patches are available, consider disabling or limiting the vulnerable web interface functionality if possible. 7. Employ intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with custom signatures to detect exploitation attempts targeting this vulnerability. 8. Regularly review and update device configurations to minimize attack surface and ensure secure defaults. 9. Train network and security teams to recognize exploitation indicators and respond promptly to incidents involving these devices.
