CVE-2026-0841 is a buffer overflow vulnerability identified in the UTT 进取 520W device firmware version 1.7.7-180627. The vulnerability arises from improper handling of the importpictureurl parameter in the /goform/formPictureUrl endpoint, where the strcpy function is used without bounds checking. This allows an attacker to supply a specially crafted input that overflows the buffer, potentially overwriting adjacent memory regions. The vulnerability is remotely exploitable over the network without requiring authentication or user interaction, making it highly dangerous. Successful exploitation could lead to arbitrary code execution, enabling attackers to take control of the device, disrupt its operation, or use it as a foothold for further network compromise. The CVSS v4.0 score is 8.7 (high), reflecting the ease of exploitation and the significant impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vendor was contacted but has not issued any patches or advisories, and exploit code is publicly available, increasing the urgency for affected users to implement mitigations. The vulnerability affects a specific firmware version, indicating that devices running this or earlier versions are at risk.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2026-0841 can be substantial, especially if the UTT 进取 520W devices are deployed in critical infrastructure, industrial control systems, or enterprise networks. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized remote code execution, allowing attackers to disrupt services, exfiltrate sensitive data, or pivot within the network. Given the device’s potential role in network communications or control, compromise could affect operational continuity and data integrity. The lack of vendor response and public exploit availability heighten the risk of widespread attacks. Organizations relying on this device should consider the threat to confidentiality, integrity, and availability as high, and the potential for lateral movement within networks as a serious concern. This vulnerability could also be leveraged in targeted attacks or automated scanning campaigns across Europe.

Since no official patch is available, European organizations should implement the following mitigations: 1) Immediately identify and inventory all UTT 进取 520W devices running vulnerable firmware versions. 2) Restrict network access to the affected devices by implementing strict firewall rules, limiting access to trusted management networks only. 3) Employ network segmentation to isolate these devices from critical infrastructure and sensitive data environments. 4) Monitor network traffic for unusual requests targeting the /goform/formPictureUrl endpoint, especially those containing suspicious importpictureurl parameters. 5) Deploy intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures or heuristics to detect exploitation attempts. 6) Consider disabling or restricting the vulnerable service or interface if feasible. 7) Engage with UTT or authorized vendors for firmware updates or workarounds and plan for device replacement if no fix is forthcoming. 8) Conduct regular security audits and penetration tests focusing on these devices. 9) Educate IT and security teams about this vulnerability and the importance of rapid response.
