Zyxel says it has no plans to release patches for two zero-days under active attack and is advising customers to replace vulnerable routers.

The company says these devices have been “end of life for years” - but the devices are not listed on Zyxel’s EOL page, and some are still available to buy on Amazon https://techcrunch.com/2025/02/05/router-maker-zyxel-tells-customers-to-replace-vulnerable-hardware-exploited-by-hackers/

Embrace. This is the new #curl CVE I expect I will get a fair amount of... "traffic" about: https://curl.se/docs/CVE-2025-0725.html

#PatchTuesday continues with Zyxel: Zyxel security advisory for command injection and insecure default credentials vulnerabilities in certain legacy DSL CPE
Zyxel's security advisory confirms the existence of CVE-2024-40890, CVE-2024-40891, and CVE-2025-0890 affecting end-of-life DSL CPE products. While they link to GreyNoise's blog post, Zyxel does not acknowledge the fact that CVE-2024-40891 (8.8 high) post-auth command injection is a zero-day being exploited in the wild by a Mirai botnet variant. They reiterate that EoL products don’t receive further support and:

"we strongly recommend that users replace them with newer-generation products for optimal protection."

Note: DSL CPE likely stands for Digital Subscriber Line Customer-Premises Equipment cc: @fellows for more Patch Tuesday Madness.

I enjoy memes and sarcasm more than anyone, but I'd really appreciate a TL;DR for these supply-chain posts of watchTowr...

I mean, their last exploit writeup is estimated a 15mins read, the latest thing is 41 and there isn't even code to explain.

4 February 1917 | A Polish Jewish dancer Franciszka Mann was born. She was most probably the woman who on 23 October 1943, inside the undressing room of gas chamber II at Auschwitz II-Birkenau, seized SS man Josef Schillinger’s pistol, shot him & wounded SS man Wilhelm Emmerich.
