Summary

CVE-2026-2981 is a high-severity Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer (CWE-119) vulnerability in Utt 810G 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 49th 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.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

CVE-2026-2981 is a buffer overflow vulnerability affecting UTT HiPER 810G firmware versions up to 1.7.7-1711. The issue stems from the strcpy function in the /goform/formTaskEdit_ap file, where manipulation of the txtMin2 argument leads to the overflow. It is associated with CWEs-119 (Improper Restriction of Operations within the Bounds of a Memory Buffer) and CWE-120 (Buffer Copy without Checking Size of Input). The vulnerability was published on 2026-02-23 and carries 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).

An attacker with low privileges can exploit this vulnerability remotely over the network with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation enables high-impact consequences, including unauthorized access to sensitive data (high confidentiality impact), modification of system resources (high integrity impact), and disruption of services (high availability impact), potentially leading to full compromise of the affected device.

References point to a public proof-of-concept exploit available on GitHub (including a dedicated PoC section) and VulDB entries detailing the vulnerability (ctiid.347365, id.347365, submit.756131). The description confirms that the exploit has been made public and could be used, but no specific patches or mitigation steps from vendors are detailed in the provided information.
