Comment on Remote code execution in Asus router firmware

Comments

Worst case is that all publicly accessible routers were rooted en-masse within an hour of this announcement. My solution is an offline factory reset and firmware update.

Is there any risk of persistent root on these devices?

This issue is nowhere near this serious, it's only exploitable from within the LAN. (http://forums.smallnetbuilder.com/showthread.php?t=21774)

In the days of javascript, this is not such a big roadblock. https://developer.chrome.com/apps/app_network
