R7000 and log4Shell / log4j vulnerability

Question

Hi.&nbsp;I have been trying to find to no avail an official communication from Netgear about this vulnerability as we have seen from almost every other big networking product manufacturer. No post in their blog, in their FAQ, in their product security page, in their Twitter account, nowhere really. Just some scattered mentions in the forums with some isolated answers about specific products.&nbsp;As a R7000 owner I want to know if it is affected in any way by this vulnerability.&nbsp;Thank you.

NETGEAR routers don't run any Java code so they're not vulnerable to log4j. It's not even used on the routers
