They almost certainly aren't.  Bash is unlikely to be installed on
embedded systems: too large.  They probably use Busybox.  Besides, if
anyone on the WAN can connect to your router at all it's already broken.
Of course, if you are running the manufacturer's firmware it probably
has a dozen gaping holes built in anyway...
