The hybrid three-row SUV will serve as the brand's co-flagship alongside the upcoming full-electric EX90.

Multiple business router models, built by the Taiwanese networking giant Zyxel, carried a critical vulnerability which allowed malicious actors to run any command, remotely. The manufacturer recently released a fix which addresses the flaw, so installing it straight away is highly recommended.

As the company explained in an advisory, the vulnerability is described as an “input validation fault caused by improper handling of user-supplied data.” In other words, the underlying OS does not validate the data a user inputs, potentially allowing crooks to run OS command injection. The bug is tracked as CVE-2024-7261, and carries a severity score of 9.8/10 - critical.

"The improper neutralization of special elements in the parameter "host" in the CGI program of some AP and security router versions could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute OS commands by sending a crafted cookie to a vulnerable device," Zyxel said in the advisory.

Numerous devices affected

Multiple Zyxel access points (AP) are vulnerable to the flaw. The full list is below:

• NWA Series: NWA50AX, NWA50AX PRO, NWA55AXE, NWA90AX, NWA90AX PRO, NWA110AX, NWA130BE, NWA210AX, NWA220AX-6E | all versions up to 7.00
• NWA1123-AC PRO (all versions up to 6.28)
• NWA1123ACv3, WAC500, WAC500H (all versions up to 6.70)
• WAC Series: WAC6103D-I, WAC6502D-S, WAC6503D-S, WAC6552D-S, WAC6553D-E (all versions up to 6.28)
• WAX Series: WAX300H, WAX510D, WAX610D, WAX620D-6E, WAX630S, WAX640S-6E, WAX650S, WAX655E (all versions up to 7.00)
• WBE Series: WBE530, WBE660S (all versions up to 7.00).

Security router USG LITE 60AX running V2.00(ACIP.2) is also vulnerable, but this device is automatically patched, so users should be safe. In any case, if you’re using this model make sure it’s running version V2.00(ACIP.3).

Zyxel is a popular manufacturer of networking devices, with its routers, switches, and wireless access points being used by thousands of organizations worldwide. As such, it is a popular target among cybercriminals, who are always on the hunt for a new vulnerability to exploit. Zyxel customers are advised to apply the patch as soon as possible and thus secure their premises.

From the best travel camera to the tripods, bags and accessories to consider, this is what you should keep in mind for your next photography trip.

It’s September, which means two virtual certainties in tech: we’re getting new iPhones and the latest GoPros. True to form, the action camera king has launched its latest flagship, the Hero 13 Black, plus an-all new beginner-friendly model, simply called the Hero.

The all-new model, the Hero, is GoPro's smallest-ever 4K action camera with a screen, and is designed to be as simple and affordable as they come. The entry-level model is is due to hit the shelves on September 22 and is also GoPro's cheapest-ever action camera, with a $199 / £199.99 / AU$349.95 list price. 

Coming in at twice the price of the Hero is the flagship Hero 13 Black, which starts at $399 / £399.99 / AU$649.95, while the Creator Edition costs $599 / £599.99 / AU$979.95. It'll be available sooner than the Hero, with a September 10 on-sale date. You can read our first impressions of the new flagship model in our hands-on GoPro Hero 13 Black review.  

GoPro has also unveiled a host of new accessories for the Hero 13 Black, notably new HB-Series lenses that include a Macro Lens Mod ($129.99 / £129.99 / AU$249.95), which overcomes the close-focusing limitations that action cameras suffer from, and a compelling Anamorphic Lens Mod ($129.99 / £129.99 / AU$219.95) for de-squeezed letterboxed cinematic footage. 

These latest Lens Mods join the Ultra Wide Lens Mod ($99.99 / £99.99 / AU$169.95), as well as a new ND Filter 4-pack ($69.99 / £69.99 / AU$119.95), and when attached these are all automatically detected by the Hero 13 Black for ease of use – that’s a first.

The top-line features of the Hero 13 Black are much the same as before: an 8:7 aspect ratio sensor with video resolution up to 5.3K, industry-leading HyperSmooth stabilization and waterproofing up to 33ft / 10m.  

So how exactly is GoPro hoping it can fend off fierce competition from DJI and its Osmo Action 4 (which it's rumored will be replaced by the Osmo Action 5 Pro soon) and the excellent Insta360 Ace Pro (which also has a rumored Ace Pro 2 successor in the pipeline)? By elevating its mature system of accessories, it seems, as well as by taking a leaf out of the competition's books. 

In a first for GoPro, the Hero 13 Black features convenient magnetic mounting, a feature that's also utilized by the new ’Contacto’ on-the-go charging accessory ($79.99 / £79.99 / AU$139.95). The redesigned built-in battery is also a higher-capacity 1,900mAh unit, capable of shooting 5.3K video for up to 1.5 hours and Full HD 1080p videos for around 2.5 hours. 

We also get the new series of Lens Mods, all of which are auto-detected by the Hero 13 Black thanks to a new mount design. For example, the anamorphic lens produces an ultra-wide letterboxed perspective that is de-squeezed by the camera, with signature lens flares, which are a popular effect with filmmakers.

The previous Max Mod lens from the Hero 12 Black can be used with the Hero 13 Black, albeit without auto-detection. However, the new HB-series lenses are not backwards compatible.

And while we’re not getting a new sensor or higher-resolution video, which will disappoint those with their heart set on a 8K GoPro that's also better in low light, video footage can be more cinematic. That’s because 5.3K video can be shot at up to 120fps for 4x slow-motion recording, as well as in superior 10-bit color depth, with an option for Hybrid Log Gamma (HLG) HDR video to minimize lost detail in highlights and shadows. 

GoPro has also responded to the calls for the return of GPS – which was a disappointing omission from the Hero 12 Black. Not only can the Hero 13 Black tag your location, but through the Quik app Performance Stickers can be added to embed info such as speed, altitude and G-force into video clips. This is an open-source feature and compatible with third-party media management apps.

Despite there not being a lot that's new, the Hero 13 Black feels like a much more compelling package for serious creators than the Hero 12 Black.

(Image credit: GoPro) GoPro Hero: the new beginner action camera to beat?

While the Hero 13 Black is steadily becoming a sophisticated cinematic tool for serious filmmakers, there’s a larger portion of users, especially beginners, who simply want to power up their action camera and shoot without all the fuss. It’s these people who could be interested in the Hero instead. 

The Hero is GoPro’s smallest and lightest 4K action camera with a screen yet, weighing just 3oz / 86g. It measures 56.6mm x 47.7mm x 29.4mm (WxHxD), meaning that overall it’s around 40% smaller than the Hero 13 Black.  

Being half the price of the GoPro Hero 13 Black, the Hero is naturally a simpler device. It has a smaller sensor than the Hero 13 Black, delivering 4K video up to 30fps with a run time of up to 100 minutes, plus 2.7K video at 60fps and 12MP photos. 

However, it has a slightly wider field of view, with 165-degree coverage compared to the Hero 13 Black's 156-degree FOV, so you won't really need a lens adaptor like the Ultra-Wide Lens Mod to fit more into your shots.

Beyond the specs, it’s the simplicity of the Hero, which is waterproof up to 16ft / 5m, that appeals. You can choose from three shooting options – Video (up to 4K), Slo-Mo (2.7K 60fps) and Photo – and the camera does the rest.

Being a simple, low-cost model, the Hero lacks a key feature: GoPro's HyperSmooth stabilization. That means your action videos will look pretty shaky when played back in-camera, but you can apply stabilization afterwards using the GoPro Quik app (as you can to footage from the Insta360 Go 3S using the Insta360 Studio app). From personal experience, the Quik app goes a long way to eliminating the shakes. 

The Insta360 Go 3S is another tiny action camera, but a different prospect to the Hero. GoPro's camera is much cheaper and has a built-in screen, but much simpler shooting modes. The Go 3S on the other hand is a modular camera, smaller in its screen-less form, then it loses its waterproofing when inserted to the Action Pod which has a screen, and which is very similar in size to the Hero. 

If you just want to get up and running quickly without fiddling around with camera settings, and want a more compact option than the Hero 13 Black, then the Hero looks like a solid choice, though we haven't had the chance to try out the new model yet. 

We'll be sharing more GoPro content soon, including more opinions and in-depth reviews.

Yaber has announced the successor to its very affordable K2 Series projectors. The new K3 series has two models, the K3 and the K3 Pro, and both versions come with two significant upgrades: an improved cooling system and updated optical technology to deliver improved brightness and image quality.

The new K3 projectors promise 1,600 ANSI Lumens of brightness at 1080p FHD resolution, and they're capable of images from 40 inches to 200 inches in normal lighting conditions. There are twin 15W JBL speakers with Dolby Audio support, each of which has a 60mm driver. If you go for the Pro model, there's even a full external subwoofer to give you some enhanced low-end thump.

We got a demonstration of the subwoofer at the IFA 2024 show in Berlin, and unsurprisingly it make a giant difference to the sound you get built into other projectors – there's real imapact and scale to the low-end.

Yaber K3 projectors: key features

Both models include a built-in TV dongle (of unspecified software) with access to key apps such as Disney Plus, Netflix and YouTube, and you can control the projector with voice commands. There's blue light filtering to reduce eye strain, an all-glass lens to minimize focal drift, and the projectors also deliver Auto Focus, Auto Keystone Correction, Intelligent Screen Alignment for seamless setup, and Intelligent Obstacle Avoidance for optimal image alignment.

The cooling system here is designed to deliver stable performance as well as longer life, and it consists of a U-shaped heatsink and dual thermoelectric coolers.

Pricing for the K3 is €599 (about $660 / £500 / AU$980), or for the Pro version with its subwoofer, you'll pay €649 (about $710 / £550 / AU$1,060)  – we're awaiting official prices in other regions. The current K-series projectors are $499 for the K1 and $549.99 for the K2. While the K3 specs might not rival the best 4K projectors for detail, getting a 200-inch screen for around is nothing to be sniffed at, and the K3 has a lot of useful auto-adjustment features to make it easy to set up.

Yaber also announced a new generation of its even more affordable L series portable projector at IFA this week. The new L2s has dual 8W JBL speakers, a brightness of 700 ANSI Lumens with 1080p resolution, and a cute mid-sized build that promises to emit only 35dB of noise. It will cost €239 (about $260 / £200 / AU$390); the current L1 is just $149.99.
