Overview
The Cybersecurity community has recently been alerted to a critical vulnerability, tagged CVE-2025-10172, affecting the UTT 750W up to version 3.2.2-191225. This flaw lies in the processing of the file /goform/formPictureUrl and can lead to a buffer overflow scenario. It’s a severe issue as it grants a malicious actor the ability to execute an attack remotely, potentially leading to a system compromise or a data breach. Despite the vendor being informed in advance about this flaw, there has yet to be an official response, making it all the more essential to understand this vulnerability and take necessary precautions.

How the Exploit Works
The vulnerability lies in the unknown processing of the file /goform/formPictureUrl within the UTT 750W. By manipulating the argument ‘importpictureurl’, an attacker can trigger a buffer overflow condition. This overflow allows the attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, potentially leading to complete system compromise or data leakage. Since the exploit can be executed remotely, it does not require any user interaction or elevated privileges.
Conceptual Example Code
Here’s a conceptual example of how an HTTP request exploiting this vulnerability might look:
POST /goform/formPictureUrl HTTP/1.1
Host: target.example.com
Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded
importpictureurl=AAAAAAAAAA...[continues until buffer overflow is triggered]In this example, the ‘importpictureurl’ argument is filled with an excessive amount of data (represented by ‘A’s), causing a buffer overflow condition.
Mitigation
Currently, the vendor has not released any patch to address this vulnerability. However, a Web Application Firewall (WAF) or Intrusion Detection System (IDS) can help mitigate this vulnerability temporarily by detecting and blocking malicious requests that aim to exploit it. It’s advisable to monitor the vendor’s official communications for updates on a more permanent fix for this issue.
