Summary

CVE-2025-15431 is a high-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Utt 512W Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 7.4 (High).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Exploitation for Privilege Escalation (T1068); ranked at the 50th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog; a public proof-of-concept is referenced.

The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2025-15431 is a buffer overflow vulnerability in the UTT 进取 512W router running firmware version 1.7.7-171114. The flaw resides in the strcpy function within the /goform/formFtpServerDirConfig file, where improper handling of the 'filename' argument allows overflow conditions. It is classified under CWE-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) and CWE-120 (Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input), with a CVSS v3.1 base score of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H). The vulnerability was published on 2026-01-02.

Attackers with low privileges (PR:L) can exploit this remotely over the network (AV:N) with low complexity and no user interaction required. By manipulating the 'filename' argument, an attacker triggers the buffer overflow, potentially achieving high impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability, such as arbitrary code execution or denial of service on the affected device.

Advisories from VulDB indicate the exploit has been publicly disclosed, including proof-of-concept code available on GitHub repositories. The vendor was notified early but provided no response or patch, leaving no official mitigation available as of disclosure.

Notable context includes the published exploit, which may already be in use by threat actors targeting exposed UTT 进取 512W devices.
