Escalates "admin" users to "super-admin" via Winbox or HTTP. Update to RouterOS 6.49.8+ or 7.x. High RCE via IPv6 advertisements (network-adjacent). Disable IPv6 ads or upgrade to 7.9.1+. CVE-2018-14847 Medium
The security of edge routing infrastructure dictates the overall security posture of an entire network. Among small-to-medium businesses (SMBs) and Internet Service Providers (ISPs) globally, MikroTik’s hardware running is a ubiquitous foundational component. However, specific legacy firmware versions, such as RouterOS 6.47.10 , contain known security architectural gaps and specific vulnerabilities that threat actors actively leverage to compromise systems.
Go to IP → Services. Disable WinBox, Telnet, and FTP if you do not need them. Use SSH or HTTPS (WWW) only.
One of the most critical vulnerabilities explicitly targeting the environment is CVE-2021-41987 .
