TP-Link TL-WDR4300 http/tftp backdoor

Hello,
here in the wiki it says there is a backdoor https://openwrt.org/toh/tp-link/tl-wdr4300_v1 and i wonder if this is patched in the latest release please?
if you have this router and are using the latest firmware, please share your experiences as well.
thanks a lot.

.... of the stock FW ? ask TP-Link ....

yes, sure. and thanks. but WITHOUT the stock FW; and WITH latest openwrt, is the backdoor still open?

wiki clearly says ...

SECURITY WARNING: Unpatched http/tftp backdoor in original firmware:

What makes you think the issue ever existed in openwrt ?

OK. Thanks. the level to which the openwrt affects the original firmware is unknown to me and that gives me reason to ask what to you may seem a silly question. thanks, however, for suggesting that the backdoor in the original firmware is not applicable, as in present, in openwrt.

The OpenWrt firmware completely replaces the original firmware; only the boot loader and some configuration parameters remain.
