Avast reports smarthub vulnerable to attack.

I have just downloaded Avast and got the vulnerability message.  Sorry for stupidity, but with no technical knowledge, can someone tell me where I find my hub firmware version information?

have a look at this:

Once you have typed in the 192....etc it will bring up the settings page, just click on 'status' and this will tell you the firmware number,.

They are supposed to be updating the firmware at some point,mine is still showing a vulnerability.

Have just checked and my HUB 6 and it was last updated on 13th April, but I still have the vunerability message, so BT have not updated the DNS version during the update.

Thanks Icepuffin.  I would have never found my way in.  My hub shows as  ....B522 and says it was updated on 13 April 2018, so obviously must still be insecure.

Mine was updated 22 April 2018 so I'm hoping all is secure now!

So has AVAST stopped flagging up the vulnerability when it scans now?

I'm not sure about that Beginner

checked my hub yesterday, last updated on 15-Jan-2018, and avast still showing the issue.

they've obviously not got round to updating your Hub firmware yet as the latest is April not January. You'll probably find all is well once you get the update.
