Today I scanned my router with routersploit. The scan ended and showed one vulnerability: eseries_themoon_rce.

I searched the internet and found that this is a vulnerability in Linksys E-Series routers. But I am not on linksys at all. And I didn’t find anything about getting rid of it.

I’m wondering if someone knows how to make this vulnerability eliminate?

    If your router isn’t even a Linksys router, then it’s most likely a false positive result and can be safely ignored. If you want to be extra sure, you could attempt to actually exploit the vulnerability with routersploit and see whether you get anywhere.

    In general, the fix for a vulnerability in an end-user network device is some combination of “update the firmware” and “disable the vulnerable feature”.

      Hi, thank you for your answer. I solved the problem. I performed a router factory reset. After that I run the security test again and it didn’t find any vulnerabilities.
