Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.31%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

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.
