yet another reason why people should be very careful about what they do and why. a bit of security training, and a bit of thought can prevent a lot of things. interesting to note that those who have enabled this "kewl" interface, yet for whatever reason are using manual local authentication have the problem. interesting to note that one of the "preventions" is NOT disabling HTTP access to the router itself from all but trusted source addresses.

Cisco bug could let hackers control Net traffic Networking hardware maker Cisco Systems and the Computer Emergency Response Team (CERT) Coordination Center have warned of a bug in Cisco routers that could allow hackers to disrupt Internet traffic or intercept sensitive information. The bug, revealed Thursday, allows an attacker to gain control of any Cisco router running certain operating software. Routers are devices that control how data moves around the Internet. Malicious attackers could stop Internet traffic, intercept information such as passwords and credit card numbers, or redirect traffic from Web sites.
