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.
