CVE-2008-1526
ZyXEL Prestige routers, including P-660, P-661, and P-662 models with firmware 3.40(PE9) and 3.40(AGD.2) through 3.40(AHQ.3), do not use a salt when calculating an MD5 password hash, which makes it easier for attackers to crack passwords.

Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.89%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
