Description
Cognex In-Sight Explorer and In-Sight Camera Firmware expose
a proprietary protocol on TCP port 1069 to perform management operations
such as modifying system properties. The user management functionality
handles sensitive data such as registered usernames and passwords over
an unencrypted channel, allowing an adjacent attacker to intercept valid
credentials to gain access to the device.
