Does this matter?

Lower severity and a low EPSS score (0.42%). Track it; it rarely justifies an emergency change on its own.

Description

An issue was discovered on ASUS RT-AC1900P routers before 3.0.0.4.385_20253. The router accepts an arbitrary server certificate for a firmware update. The culprit is the --no-check-certificate option passed to wget tool used to download firmware update files.
