I have Avast Free Antivirus version 17.8.2318 (build 17.8.3705.0) installed and ran WiFi Inspector for the first time.
This resulted in a CVE-2012-5958 warning.
I have checked and confirmed with my ISP that my ZTE Router has the latest firmware. I am also advised that this security issue was known and has been fixed since 2014.
I Note from other posts that others have queried the CVE-2012-5958 warning.
I’d like confirmation that my WiFi security is safe. Can anyone clarify this?
Below is the response I got fro my ISP (Hyperoptic).
