Improper Input Validation in Unisoc UDX710 Modem Causing Remote Denial of Service

Published Aug 3, 2026 CVSS 3.1 · 7.5 High EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
In modem, there is a possible improper input validation. This could lead to remote denial of service with no additional execution privileges needed

Analysis

AI-generated

Technical impact

The vulnerability is an improper input validation flaw in the modem firmware of Unisoc UDX710 devices that can lead to remote denial of service. The flaw allows an attacker to send malformed or malicious input that causes the modem to crash or reset, interrupting network services. The attack vector is not explicitly stated, but based on the description it is inferred that the flaw is exploitable through a remote interface that accepts user‑supplied data.

Affected Systems

Affected devices are Unisoc (Shanghai) Technologies Co., Ltd. modem devices running the UDX710 firmware. Specific firmware versions are not listed in the vulnerability report, so the impact applies to all versions of the UDX710 that contain the unpatched code.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS base score of 7.5 indicates a high-level severity, and the EPSS score of 0.00403 indicates a very low probability of exploitation. The vulnerability is not included in the CISA KEV catalog. Exploitation appears to require remote access to the modem's input interface; no additional privileges are needed, making it easier to target. Because the flaw directly disrupts service availability, the risk to organizations that rely on the impacted modems includes service downtime and potential cascading effects on dependent systems. While no publicly disclosed exploits are known, the high severity warrants timely patching or mitigation.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the vendor‑supplied firmware update that addresses the improper input validation flaw
  • Disable or restrict remote configuration interfaces on the modem to limit exposure to trusted management networks
  • Implement network segmentation or firewall rules to control traffic to the modem's control ports, allowing only authorized IP addresses to communicate
  • Monitor modem logs and restart events for abnormal activity and consider rate‑limiting accepted input
