OpenWrt Users: Upgrade Now or Risk a Wi-Fi Wipeout!
OpenWrt users, beware! A supply chain attack could turn your trusty router into a rogue device. Upgrade to the same version pronto or risk being the punchline in a hacker’s evil joke. Your router deserves better than to be part of a comedy of errors!
Hot Take:
OpenWrt users, it’s time to hit the upgrade button faster than your Wi-Fi drops during a video call! Turns out, the only thing more dangerous than a supply chain attack is running an old firmware version. It’s like upgrading your router from a dodgy hotdog stand to a Michelin-starred restaurant—your data deserves the five-star treatment!
Key Points:
- OpenWrt faces a potential supply chain attack due to command injection and weak hash vulnerabilities.
- The vulnerabilities could allow attackers to serve compromised firmware images via the ASU service.
- OpenWrt users are advised to upgrade to the same version to mitigate risks.
- No official images or custom images from 24.10.0-rc2 were affected, according to OpenWrt’s review.
- OpenWrt recently announced its first hardware platform, OpenWrt One, with the Software Freedom Conservancy.
