A researcher has uncovered a new security vulnerability affecting many devices running the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) protocol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Named CallStranger by discoverer Yunus \u00c7ad\u0131rc\u0131, a potentially large number of devices with UPnP (Universal Plug and Play) enabled, which includes home routers, modems, smart TVs, printers, cameras, and media gateways, have a vulnerability. It\u2019s also been enabled on a lot of what might loosely be called Internet of Things (IoT) products, as well as major operating systems such as Windows 10, and even the Xbox games console.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A list of known and suspected vulnerable devices is available on the CallStranger publicity website,<\/a> but it would be wise not to assume this is definitive (a script is available to poll the network for vulnerable devices).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The one UPnP stack that isn\u2019t affected is MiniUPnP, which is used in a sizable chunk of home routers. The problem is it\u2019s not easy to tell which devices use this and which don\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Use Ship n Destroy<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you find vulnerabilities in your hardware, or need to upgrade, let us safely and securely destroy your hard drives, smart devices and desktops with our simple Ship n Destroy process.
