Security researchers cracked the vulnerability by reverse-engineering the RouterOS binary files and analyzing the custom network protocols used by MikroTik.
The term "cracked" in this context means that the vulnerability is no longer just theoretical. While security researchers identified the flaw, once details of the vulnerability are public, threat actors can analyze them and create working exploits, often within days or weeks. The discovery of related to this vulnerability has effectively armed attackers, making immediate patching critical to prevent widespread compromise.
