CVE-2022-1368Network attack vector

Unauthenticated operator takeover via exposed password commands

Published Sep 6, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025

Missing authentication in Cognex 3D-A1000 firmware 1.0.3 (3354) and earlier allows remote attackers to take over operator accounts. Monitoring WebSocket traffic from an unauthenticated session reveals web-server commands that reset the operator password without verifying an identity. Network access to the device is sufficient, and the reset grants the compromised operator account's privileges without prior credentials.
