Use of some very old software on the device

[huntermic]

While scanning a wiim pro i found out that the device is using some very old webserver software ( Boa webserver ) that had it's latest release 19 years ago, this poses a security threat. Also the kernel used is not very up2date ( version 4.9.113 is used while the latest longterm in this range is currently 4.19.309).

If you have concerns in this area, please submit a ticket to WiiM via the settings/feedback section in the WiiM Home app and hopefully they'll be able to say what steps they have taken in mitigating any assumed threat.
