CVE-2026-18897: Stack-based Buffer Overflow in UTT HiPER 1250GW
CVE-2026-18897 is a high-severity stack-based buffer overflow vulnerability in the UTT HiPER 1250GW device, specifically in the strcpy function within /goform/getOneApConfTempEntry. This flaw allows remote attackers to trigger a buffer overflow by manipulating the tempName argument. The vulnerability affects version 3.2.7-210907-180535 of the product. Although an exploit is publicly available, there is no vendor response or official patch at this time.
AI Analysis
Technical Summary
The vulnerability CVE-2026-18897 exists in UTT HiPER 1250GW up to version 3.2.7-210907-180535. It is caused by improper handling of the tempName argument in the strcpy function of the /goform/getOneApConfTempEntry file, leading to a stack-based buffer overflow. This flaw can be exploited remotely without user interaction or privileges, as indicated by the CVSS vector. The vendor has not provided any response or patch, and the exploit code is publicly accessible.
Potential Impact
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability can lead to a stack-based buffer overflow, which may allow remote attackers to execute arbitrary code or cause a denial of service on the affected device. The CVSS score of 8.7 reflects high impact with network attack vector, low attack complexity, no privileges required, and no user interaction needed. Confidentiality, integrity, and availability impacts are all high.
Mitigation Recommendations
No official patch or remediation is currently available from the vendor, as they have not responded to the disclosure. Users should monitor vendor communications for updates. Until a fix is released, consider limiting network exposure of the affected device and applying network-level protections to restrict access to the vulnerable function if possible.
