Router maker Zyxel tells customers to replace sensitive hardware exploited by hackers

Taiwan hardware maker Zexel says he has no plans to publish a patch for two actively absorbed weaknesses affecting thousands of potential customers.

Intimidation Warn A crucial rated zero-day vulnerability was being actively exploited by a critical rated zero-day weakness affecting the Zexel routers late last month. Granois said errors allow the attackers to operate arbitrary commands on the affected devices, causing the full system settlement, data exilmentation, or network infiltration.

In July last year, the Threat Intelligence Organization was discovered by Valanchek .The Zyccele was reported in the following months, according to Greenes, but was announced by the manufacturer or formal.

In one Advisable This week, Zexel said it was “recently” aware of two weaknesses-now formal traces as CVE-2024-40890 and CVE-2024-40891-which affects many products of life.

The company claims that the mistakes were not reported by the attitude and say that a day after Greenois reported active exploitation, it was first awakened about him on January 29.

Zexel, Whose devices are used by over 1 million businessesSays that these mistakes affect “Legacy products reached on the final life (EOL) for years, so there is no plan to free patches to fix them. Instead, the company is advising customers to replace weaker routers with “new pay generation products for the best security”.

In A blog post on TuesdayWoolchek notes that the affected devices are not listed on Zyccela’s EOL page and say that the affected models are still available for purchases by Amazon, which has confirmed.

“While these systems are old and mostly do not support, they remain very relevant due to the continued use of the world and the constant interest of attackers,” said Wolchek’s CTO, Jacob Baines.

According to AsphaltSearch engines for Internet Th Things devices and Internet assets, about 1,500 sensitive devices are exposed to the Internet.

At an update last week, Granois said he found boatnets, including Mirai.

Zixel spokesman Birgit Larsen did not respond to multiple requests for Techcranches for the comment.
