We were recently made aware that a series of vulnerabilities, Ripple20, were discovered in a low-level TCP\/IP software library developed by Treck, Inc. This is widely-used in embedded and IoT devices. Consequently, some Room Alert users have reported their Room Alert “E” models being flagged by their security software as potentially vulnerable to Ripple20. However, the Treck TCP\/IP software library is not used in Room Alert’s proprietary firmware, and therefore, means that <\/span>no Room Alert monitors are vulnerable to Ripple20.<\/b><\/p>\n

The false positives for Ripple20 appear for Room Alert “E” models that have the Telnet menu enabled (TCP port 9999) but no password set. <\/span>If you prefer to not set a password, you may instead disable your device’s Telnet menu. For instructions, check out this <\/span>FAQ<\/span><\/a>. <\/span>If you prefer to not set a password, check out this <\/span>FAQ<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
