Getting access to the device, either local or remote, has been proven to be a trivial process… time and time again. As I have already said, using the CPU vulnerabilities would be pointless after one has already obtained shell access, regardless of the method used.

Exactly what i’m saying already multiple times here. The CPU (Meltdown / Spectre) vulnerabilities don’t have any relevance for the WD devices:

@tempaccount

its just blind to point at two security vulnerabilities which have no relevance to the WD devices like the OP did…

@tempaccount

Yes, again: Meltdown and Spectre have no direct relevance for WD devices.

You need local access to be able to abuse those vulnerabilities and if you have that access (either via some sort of allowed access via SSH or by using another vulnerability) there is no point in abusing those as you already go everything you need.
