Router scan (discuss.tchncs.de)

Today I scanned my router with routersploit. The scan ended and showed one vulnerability: eseries_themoon_rce.

I searched the internet and found that this is a vulnerability in Linksys E-Series routers. But I am not on linksys at all. And I didn't find anything about getting rid of it.

I'm wondering if someone knows how to make this vulnerability eliminate?

Looks like there’s a metasploit available. You can use that on your router to see if it’s susceptible. A quick google search indicates that this is only successful on older routers without input validation.

In general, follow good cyber security hygiene, and update the firmware on your router. If your router no longer is supported by the vendor (no more firmware updates for vulnerabilities found), then it’s old and you should upgrade.

Thank you for advice and additional info. I bought a modern router Cudy WR3000 with WiFi-6 support. And it has the last firmware update available.
