CRITICAL 9.3EPSS 0.73%

Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.73%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

The CS5000 Fire Panel is vulnerable due to a default account that exists on the panel. Even though it is possible to change this by SSHing into the device, it has remained unchanged on every installed system observed. This account is not root but holds high-level permissions that could severely impact the device's operation if exploited.
