This problem is only worsening. I recommend running nmap vulners or flan on a cron at home against your network. I found multiple CVEs in my brand new (2023) router. They were running old versions of dropbear SSH, dnsmasq that had vulns. Most routers are just cobbled together from years-old OpenWRT releases or worse. I also found vulns on a brother printer, a smart plug, wifi-enabled air filter. Everything in your house that has wifi probably has a vuln on it. https://github.com/vulnersCom/nmap-vulners https://github.com/cloudflare/flan I urge everyone to check you'll definitely find a CVE
