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?

      You might also be able to replace the firmware with something like DD-WRT or OpenWRT or Tomato or other third-party firmware.

        Good idea.

        You can still get the newest DD-WRT builds even on the WRT54G.
        That is a Wi-Fi router from 2002.

        Of course, the features are sort of limited. I tried the VPN build (on WRT54GL), but I couldn’t get the OpenVPN client to connect. I found some thread mentioning it may be missing something, but I don’t know if that’s the issue.

        Anyway, without overclocking I’d expect like 2Mbps. I mean, it barely handles HTTPS. Just trying to load the WebUI maxes out the CPU for several seconds if trying to use HTTPS.
        Perhaps it’s not missing anything software-wise, but it’s just so slow it times out during handshake.
        So I just put the std build on it in case it will be useful at some point.

      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.
