RouterOS versions 6.45.6 Stable, 6.44.5 Long-term, and below allow remote unauthenticated attackers to trigger DNS queries via port 8291.
The queries are sent from the router to a server of the attacker’s choice. The DNS responses are cached by the router, potentially resulting in cache poisoning

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
