You need to use what is avialable from the CBK site:

Untill NG makes it compatible with the CBR40.
What this is telling me is that the CBK40/CBR40 have not received updates, and that this vulnerability remains for the CBK40/CBR40 products. Not exactly comforting to know there is a known 8.5+ ranked hack that your gear is subject to.
As for contacting support, what you probably already know, they do not talk with owners after 90 days from purchase unless you have paid for an expensive support plan.
