Here is a link to a test by Rapid7, the research group that published this article, to see if your router is safe from this exploit.

It's amazing over 200 viewers and no replies to a serious security problem. Is that a sign everybody is safe or they don't care?

I'm clean. The irony is before I saw this, I D/L the scanner, and it needs Java to run! No Java (and it's vulnerabilities) for me

The ScanNow is used to test your internal network to see what devices are vulnerable but if they are behind a Router they should be screened from the Internet and the Router Check makes sure the Router is blocking these requests.I'm clean.

UPnP networking flaw puts millions of PCs at risk
Posted: 29 Jan 2013
Read more at source:Common bugs in networking systems are placing PCs, printers and storage devices at risk, according to security researchers.
According to the security team at Rapid7, technology used worldwide in both routers and standard networking equipment is making it possible for hackers to potentially infiltrate approximately 40 million to 50 million devices worldwide.
The vulnerability lies in the standard known as Universal Plug and Play (UPnP). This standard set of networking protocols allows devices such as PCs, printers and Wi-Fi access points to communicate and discover each other's presence. After discovery, devices can be connected through a network in order to share files, printing capability and the Internet.
