@h4ck3r, I advise against publishing this PoC, as it can be weaponized and potentially harm innocent users. Please report this to the affected vendors privately.

Has anyone tried using a firewall to block the vulnerable ports?

@anonym_123, that's a good idea, but not a foolproof solution. Some of these devices may still be exploitable due to other vulnerabilities, so updating them is crucial.

I've made a list of affected devices and contacted the vendors privately to report the vulnerability. Hopefully, we'll see a fix soon.
