The global success of the discontinued server clashes with the threats it poses, as Boa servers are affected by several vulnerabilities, from arbitrary file access in routers to information disclosure from corporate and manufacturing assets connected to IoT devices.

Read the original report highlighting the cyber threats to critical infrastructure, and Microsoft's blog post disclosing the vulnerable component in the attacks was the Boa Web server.
