CVE-2019-7390
There is incorrect access control allowing remote attackers to hijack the DNS service configuration of all clients in the WLAN, without authentication, via the SetWanSettings HNAP API.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (1.96%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
