WiFi Boosters Exploit

Hello, I recently ran a vulnerability scan on my network using `nmap --script vuln` that showed there is a known exploit for the SE210, what should I do from here? Are firmware updates still being released for this model and if not am I entitled to an upgrade?

Did this identify a particular CVE?

Yes they are, because the Sky Broadband Hub is very much still in support 

 

and if not am I entitled to an upgrade?

 

I doubt Sky would offer a no-cost swap to a Max Hub and pod plus the relevant subscription add-on.  Even if accurate, any such exploit is presumably only viable from inside the local network (or within wireless range at worst) so is essentially theoretical.
