OpenWRT doesn't seem to use wappd though?

As a contributor to OpenWrt it makes me wonder why don't people differentiate between OpenWrt and various proprietary vendor SDKs. No one would have referenced Fedora if there was a bug in Nobara.

Came here wondering this, as I have several Netgear APs running OpenWRT on my home network. Sounds like I'm in the clear?

If it's a clean upstream OpenWRT, yes. For vendored OpenWRT, all bets are off.
