Overview
In the continually evolving landscape of cybersecurity, a new vulnerability has been detected in the UTT 1200GW up to 3.0.0-170831. This security vulnerability, classified as CVE-2025-10170, affects the function sub_4B48F8 of the file /goform/formApLbConfig. This vulnerability is critical, particularly for organizations utilizing UTT 1200GW in their network infrastructure, as it opens up the potential for system compromise and data leakage.
The vulnerability is not only dangerous due to its potential impact but also because it has been publicly disclosed. This means that malicious actors may have access to exploit this vulnerability, and without a response from the vendor, this leaves systems unprotected and at risk. This article aims to shed light on the severity of this vulnerability, its impact, and potential mitigation strategies.

How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability emerges from a buffer overflow condition in the function sub_4B48F8 of /goform/formApLbConfig file in UTT 1200GW. Manipulation of the argument loadBalanceNameOld can trigger this overflow, which in turn can lead to remote code execution (RCE) by an attacker. This RCE can be launched remotely, without requiring user interaction, and can result in system compromise or data leakage.
Conceptual Example Code
Here is a
conceptual
example of how this vulnerability can be exploited using a crafted HTTP request. This should not be executed but is shown for illustrative purposes:
POST /goform/formApLbConfig HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/json
{
"loadBalanceNameOld": "A"*8000,
"other_parameters": "..."
}In the example above, an attacker could flood the loadBalanceNameOld parameter with a large amount of data (symbolically represented by “A”*8000) to trigger the buffer overflow and potentially execute arbitrary code.
Mitigation Guidance
Given the lack of response from the vendor, it is recommended to apply a third-party patch if available. Until such a patch is available or the vendor provides a fix, temporary mitigation can be achieved through the use of a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or an Intrusion Detection System (IDS). These systems can be configured to detect and potentially block attempts to exploit this vulnerability, providing some level of protection against attacks.
