Does this affect you?

It affects Cognex In-Sight 2000 series and 4 other products. Add what you run to find out whether that includes you.

No exploitation reported and no EPSS estimate yet.

Cognex In-Sight Explorer and In-Sight Camera Firmware expose a telnet-based service on port 23 to allow management operations such as firmware upgrades and device reboots, which require authentication. A user with protected privileges can successfully invoke the SetSystemConfig functionality to modify relevant device properties (such as network settings), contradicting the security model proposed in the user manual.
