Vulnerability ID: NON-2015-0211 on my WNDR4500v3 router

I use Avast interenet security and it says my router is vulnerable. I click the details and ID: NON-2015-0211 shows. How do I fix this? I already made sure my router has the latest firmware.

    wadial Kindly make sure that you have the latest firmware installed and change the default login password of your router.

    Once done, run the Avast again and it should all be good.

I am having the same issue. I've upgraded to the latest firmware (1.0.0.32). Avast is reporting that I am vulnerable, and Netgear states that I am up-to-date. Are there any other compensating controls that I can take, in the meantime to mitigate the risks?

 

Thanks,

gsoucy By the way, have you changed the default login of your NETGEAR router? If not, kindly change it to something else and re-run Avast.

    Hi ElaineM

     

    I am still looking for a solution to the avast warning on non-2015-0211 on my wndr4500v3 router. It has been 6 months that I have been following this thread and answers are still zilch. Your engineers must be real busy as this is a very serious problem to leave unsolved. You guys could lose customers over this.

     

    Please give them a little prod and let's get this one solved.  

     

    thanks, wadial
