Security risk for all PLEX users on Netgear routers
Everyone who uses PLEX version 1.21 or lower is vunerable of getting their Router/PLEX installation being abused to launch reflection/amplification DDoS attacks (source)
Seeing that Netgear hasn't issued* any updates for PLEX since Sep 29, 2020 it's clear that Netgear \ Nighthawk users are at risk!
* PLEX says I quote "This feature is gated by Netgear so a new public version will not appear until they have approved the release to be enabled on the Nighthawk X10 device." (source)
So Netgear, please, when can we expect the long overdue update for PLEX?
