US Ban on TP-link Routers

The United States is looking at banning TP-Link routers.

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/technology/tp-link-routers-could-be-banned-next-year-are-they-actually-dangerous/ar-AA1woD6H?ocid=BingNewsSerp

They point out a specific vulnerability. I've watched videos of the exploit in action, accessing a network from the internet via this vulnerability in my router.

What is TP-Link doing to fix this vulnerability?

How is TP-Link insuring even they are not able in accessing our own network through this vulnerability?

@DVair

That's part of the answer.

And I know tp-link is one of the most secure. It's why I've been a customer for over 10 years.

I am concerned about the ban being looked at right now because of a known exploit in what seems to be all TP-Link routers.

I would post a YouTube of someone very well known for their content actively using the exploit against a random TP-Link Router they stumbled across REMOTELY over the internet but then I would be in trouble for sharing an exploit.

Zero physical access. It's on YouTube.

What is TP-Link doing to secure this very fatal flaw, in the wild right now?
