You see this notification on the Trend Micro Home Network Security app:

"Router Command Injection Vulnerability"

Why did this happen?

A device vulnerable to code execution attacks in your network was detected.

What are its risks?

  • Attackers could execute arbitrary code and take control of the device.
  • Attackers could send a specially crafted request to your device.

What should I do next?

  • Make sure your router is updated to the latest patch or firmware. Show me how.
  • Change the default password of the router and create a much stronger password. Check your router’s manual or handbook for the instructions on changing your router’s password. Show me how.
  • Ensure Remote management is disabled by default if your router does not have a firmware fix available. Guide me.

What if I have more questions?
