“A simple but shockingly dangerous vulnerability has been uncovered in the NetUSB component, putting millions of modern routers and other embedded devices across the globe at risk of being compromised by hackers. NetUSB component is integrated into modern routers sold by some major manufacturers including D-Link, Netgear, TP-Link, ZyXEL and TrendNet. Until now, only TP-Link addressed the vulnerability and provided a fix for the serious NetUSB vulnerability and scheduled patches for about 40 products. According to SEC Consult, the NetUSB feature was enabled on all devices checked, and the service was still running even when no USB devices were connected.”
