Cognex In-Sight Explorer and In-Sight Camera Firmware expose a telnet-based service on port 23 in order to allow
management operations on the device such as firmware upgrades and device
reboot requiring an authentication. A wrong management of login
failures of the service allows a denial-of-service attack, leaving the telnet service
into an unreachable state.

Workaround

Cognex reports that In-Sight Explorer based vision systems are legacy products not intended for new applications. To reduce risk, asset owners are advised to switch to next generation In-Sight Vision Suite based vision systems, such as the In-Sight 2800, In-Sight 3800, In-Sight 8900 series embedded cameras.
