This. The typical vulnerability requires an obscure hardware or software config, the user to do something unusual or foolish, or an attacker on the local network. This requires none of that.

Thanks for the explanation. I usually abhor how the word "wormable" is thrown around but it sounds like it might apply here, especially since many devices running this software may be difficult to patch? Yikes.

I actually just put in my two weeks notice to spend the rest of spooky season focused on my art rather than infosec, but I hope folks don't have this... abused.
