This only seems to impact instances that have Webfig or Winbox exposed to the attacker and not on the latest Long-term release. As long as those are not exposed to the internet the risk is minimal.

Sadly, as the article pointed out, it seems that potentially hundreds of thousands of vulnerable instances are exposed to the internet.

Makes me wonder why the default config enables those services on the outside interface anyway.
