Has RBR40 stopped receiving firmware updates?

I'm asking this because of the FunJSQ vulnerability. Is this router vulnerable to this?   Or to any other currently known vulnerabilities'?

Many of the original consumer Orbi models appear on Netgear's list of End of Life products:

Specifically:

As it has been more than one year since the last firmware release, one might conclude that there will be no more firmware releases for these products.

 

This article specifically mentions a fix being released for several models (but omits the the RBR40):

This article published on Sept 13 also omits the RBR40, but claims that a fix has been released for the RBR50 (v2.7.4.26).  However this firmware version does not appear on the Netgear support site.  Perhaps "released" is a euphemism for "we're working on it."
