Vulnerability in common hotel routers threatens guest devices

A vulnerability in the Wi-Fi routers used in hundreds of hotels across the world has been uncovered by security researchers, Wired reports.

Researchers from Cylance uncovered the flaw in various models of InnGate hotel routers, manufactured by ANTlabs. The weakness could give attackers access to the hotel routers’ root file system, meaning they can either copy files from the system, or write their own. The latter could allow malicious types to infect devices connected to the hotel Wi-Fi.
