This popularity can be attributed to the fact that the tiny web server can run on devices with limited resources, such as Internet of Things (IoT) devices, routers, printers, and other networking equipment. According to the product's website, it is currently deployed inside products released by big industry names such as Comcast, Oracle, D-Link, ZTE, HP, Siemens, Canon, and many others. The vulnerability directly affects GoAhead, a small web server package created by Embedthis Software LLC, a company based in Seattle, USA. While many shared the day with family, others were stuck behind screens pouring over details relating to the vulnerability tracked as CVE-2017-17562. News of a vulnerability affecting a web server that's been embedded in hundreds of thousands of IoT (Internet of Things) devices broke yesterday, that being Christmas day. It appears hackers never got that memo which meant security researchers were also deprived of a day off. For large sections of the world, Christmas and New Year are times of goodwill towards others.
