With his thoughtful suggestion Jim Hamm forwards an interesting site. He starts off, "Here is a description and test to see whether your router may be vulnerable to a UPnP discovery request. I ran the test, and our router is not vulnerable.
Jim then comments, "In the real world, I don't know how serious this threat may or may not be. I don't recall reading anything about it, and don't really know anything about this vulnerability. So, proceed accordingly."
Hmmm. Let's look at this company and their blog to learn more. Here's a photo of them, http://www.rapid7.com/company/ and you'll learn more when you scan their Security Street blog: https://community.rapid7.com/community/infosec/blog
And this is the latest addition from Jim, "Here is more information on the Universal Plug and Play (UPnP) vulnerability issue. Although this article came out a while back, I guess reading it now is better late than never."
