GermanyThe article reports on a security vulnerability known as 'MikroTrick' affecting MikroTik RouterOS devices. Security researchers have identified six vulnerabilities, two of which can be combined into an attack chain allowing attackers complete control over affected devices without valid credentials, provided the SSH service is accessible from the internet. The Polish Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT Polska) has coordinated the disclosure of these flaws, and while MikroTik has released patches, administrators are advised to consider their devices potentially compromised and perform additional checks. The vulnerabilities include CVE-2026-67276 and CVE-2026-86060, both with a high CVSS score of 9.2. Affected versions of RouterOS include 7.25 beta 3, 7.24.2, 7.23.4, and 6.49.21, with all prior versions being vulnerable if certain services are exposed. Administrators are urged to check for signs of compromise using indicators such as suspicious log entries or unauthorized users.
