CVE-2026-2070 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/formPolicyRouteConf endpoint, where the GroupName parameter is not properly bounded, allowing an attacker to overflow the buffer. This overflow can be exploited remotely without authentication or user interaction, making it highly accessible to attackers. The vulnerability can lead to arbitrary code execution, enabling attackers to take control of the device, disrupt network operations, or exfiltrate sensitive data. The vendor was notified early but has not provided any patches or mitigation guidance, and the exploit has been publicly disclosed, increasing the likelihood of exploitation. The CVSS 4.0 score is 8.7 (high), reflecting the ease of exploitation and the severe impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. The vulnerability affects a specific firmware version, so devices running 1.7.7-180627 are at risk. No known exploits in the wild have been reported yet, but public disclosure means attackers can develop exploits rapidly. The lack of vendor response and patch availability necessitates immediate defensive measures by users of this device.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a critical risk, especially for those relying on UTT 进取 520W devices in their network infrastructure. Successful exploitation can lead to full device compromise, allowing attackers to manipulate routing policies, intercept or redirect traffic, or cause denial of service. This can disrupt business operations, compromise sensitive communications, and potentially serve as a foothold for further network intrusion. Critical sectors such as telecommunications, government networks, and industrial control systems using these devices are particularly vulnerable. The remote, unauthenticated nature of the exploit increases the threat level, as attackers can target exposed devices over the internet or internal networks. The absence of vendor patches means organizations must rely on compensating controls, increasing operational complexity and risk. The public disclosure of exploit details further elevates the threat landscape, potentially leading to targeted attacks against European entities.

Given the lack of vendor patches, European organizations should implement the following mitigations: 1) Immediately identify and inventory all UTT 进取 520W devices running version 1.7.7-180627. 2) Restrict network access to the /goform/formPolicyRouteConf endpoint by implementing strict firewall rules and access control lists, limiting access to trusted management networks only. 3) Deploy intrusion detection/prevention systems (IDS/IPS) with signatures or heuristics to detect exploitation attempts targeting the strcpy buffer overflow. 4) Monitor network traffic and device logs for unusual activity or malformed requests targeting the vulnerable endpoint. 5) Where possible, isolate vulnerable devices from public networks or untrusted segments. 6) Consider temporary device replacement or firmware rollback if a secure version is available. 7) Engage with UTT or third-party security vendors for potential unofficial patches or mitigations. 8) Educate network administrators about the vulnerability and ensure rapid incident response capabilities are in place. 9) Plan for device upgrade or replacement as a long-term solution once a patch or secure firmware is released.
