Got a Western Digital NAS?
I just told a coworker to unplug his WD mycloud/mybook devices. We have another zero day for the Western Digital line up.
Brian Krebs has the details.

Western Digital My Cloud customers – turn off Cloud access NOW
If you have a Western Digital My Cloud network attached storage device, you’re mightily exposed. Jon Fingas at engadget says:
Exploitee.rs has discovered a number of unpatched security flaws in most My Cloud models that let remote intruders bypass the login, insert their own commands and upload files without permission. In numerous cases, it’s a matter of poorly implemented scripts. Also, every command exectued through the web interface has full access to the operating system — an attacker would have the keys to the kingdom.
Bottom line: Everybody with Western Digital My Cloud machines should take Barb Bowman’s advice and Turn Off Cloud Access to your WD My Cloud Device NOW
