Zxyel Routers Beware This week we've released a module written by first time community contributor shr70 [https://github.com/shr70] that can exploit roughly 45 different Zyxel router and VPN models. The module exploits a buffer overflow vulnerability that results in unauthenticated remote code execution on affected devices. It's rare we see a module affect this many devices once and are excited to see this ship in the framework. We hope pentesters and red-teamers alike can make good use of this
