Misfortune Cookie for AC1900 R7000 with firmware v1.4.4.30
Is the firmware level vulnerable to the Fortune Cookie hack? If so is there a more recent version of the firmware that resolves the issue?
I think it's fairly standard for companies to be blind-sided by vulnerability reports from third party researchers, but that's not to say that they don't do their own internal testing as well.
However, Netgear don't use RomPager, and aren't "on the list" as far as CheckPoint are concerned.
I'd also keep remote management turned "off" to be safer.

Hi cltejensen,No reports has been forwarded that the router is affected by fortune cookie hack.
Not sure we understand. You need a third-party report in order to recognize a vulnerability??? Should Netgear security or compliance team be responsible for being proactive about testing the products?
Looking forward to your reply. Thanks.
