Two days after Cisco patched a severe vulnerability in a popular brand of SOHO routers, and one day after the publication of proof-of-concept code, hackers have started scans and attacks exploiting the said security bug to take over unpatched devices.

The vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2019-1663, was of note when it came out on February 27 because it received a severity score from the Cisco team of 9.8 out of a maximum of 10.
In its blog post, Pen Test Partners blamed the root cause of CVE-2019-1663 on Cisco coders using an infamously insecure function of the C programming language -namely strcpy (string copy).

Any owner of these devices will need to apply updates as soon as possible. If they believe their router has already been compromised, reflashing the device firmware is recommended.
