CAX80 security vulnerabilities
I am considering the CAX80 as my new modem to work with Xfinity's internet access. I have been unable to find information on whether this modem/router has the Cable Haunt vulnerability or not. ...
You might contact your ISP and see. Might check DSLReports.com as well. Though I haven't see much regarding that there. Only one item was the intel chip set problem found on Intel based modems years ago. This Cable haunt is two years old. Haven't seen much or any activity on it. I've had my CAX80 online for a couple of years. Recently put it back online in modem mode.
Cable Haunt is 2yrs old - but not that old to have nothing on the web regarding the ISP providers & modem manufacturers response to it. At the very least I expected the companies to address the vulnerability with a firmware version that has the fix.
Otherwise, sounds like a good piece of hardware.
