CVE-2022-1522Network attack vector

Audit-log forgery via unneutralized password-change entries

Published Sep 6, 2022 · Updated Apr 16, 2025

Log injection in Cognex 3D-A1000 firmware 1.0.3 (3354) and earlier allows remote attackers to forge password-change audit entries. CISA has not disclosed which logging path accepts unneutralized attacker-controlled content or how that content is submitted. The unauthenticated network path changes audit evidence rather than passwords, undermining forensic reconstruction.
