The requirement comes after it was alleged that the models could transmit passwords in cleartext during the initial setup.<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The issue was first discovered by a Belgian consumer organization, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.test-aankoop.be\/hightech\/wifi-versterkers\/nieuws\/router-linksys-onveilig\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong>Testaankoop<\/strong><\/a>, which found that, during initial setup, both the Velop Pro 6E and 7 were allegedly transmitting the end-user&#8217;s SSID (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">WiFi<\/a> network name) and passwords in cleartext (unencrypted) to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/go\/amazon\" rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\">Amazon<\/a> hosted server in the USA (we don&#8217;t know if they mean the admin or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">WiFi<\/a> password, but it could be both). User session access tokens and database identification tokens were also transmitted.<\/p>\n<div class=\"bq2\"><strong>NOTE:<\/strong> This concerns the Linksys Velop Pro <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ispreview.co.uk\/index.php\/link\/wifi\">WiFi<\/a> 6E MX6201-KE, MX6203-KE and Pro 7 models.<\/div>\n<p>The issue was discovered in firmware version <em>1.0.8 MX6200_1.0.8.215731<\/em> for the Wi-Fi 6E router and <em>1.0.10.215314<\/em> for the Wi-Fi 7 device. But exploiting this would admittedly require a Man-in-the-Middle (MITM) style attack, one with good timing.<\/p>\n<p>Since then there has been an additional patch, but there&#8217;s no mention in the release notes of whether this includes a fix for the problem and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.techspot.com\/news\/103783-linksys-routers-likely-transmitting-cleartext-passwords.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Techspot<\/a> claims that Linksys still hasn&#8217;t publicly acknowledged the issue. Testaankoop says they reported the vulnerability to Linksys in November 2023 but got no response, which doesn&#8217;t exactly inspire confidence in the company&#8217;s approach to device security.<\/p>\n<p>In the meantime, the best course of action, if you have one of these routers, is to change your passwords (WiFi and router admin) and WiFi network names. But you should do this using a web browser on a PC \/ MAC or mobile device and NOT via the accompanying Linksys app to prevent the changes from being sent unencrypted.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE 3:48pm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A spokesperson for Linksys has been in contact to inform us that they &#8220;<em>take security very seriously<\/em>&#8221; and have &#8220;<em>conducted a thorough review and can confirm that none of the models being deployed by any of the Service Providers in the UK are affected by this alleged vulnerability. This assurance extends to our current products as well as any units that have been deployed by Service Providers in the past<\/em>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>However, the statement only covers ISP supplied routers and doesn&#8217;t clarify whether the aforementioned retail models have been patched, or if Linksys are disputing that a vulnerability even exists. We have requested further clarification on these points and will report back. But Linksys did say that they would be sending out an official press release next week to provide further details and reinforce their commitment to product security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Owners of the Linksys Velop Pro 6E and Pro 7 mesh routers, which are also used by some broadband connected consumers in the UK, are being advised to change the router&#8217;s passwords and Wi-Fi network names through an external web browser.
