CVE-2022-1368
Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.
NVD · uneditedThe Cognex 3D-A1000 Dimensioning System in firmware version 1.0.3 (3354) and prior is vulnerable to CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function, which allows unauthorized users to change the operator account password via webserver commands by monitoring web socket communications from an unauthenticated session. This could allow an attacker to escalate privileges to match those of the compromised account.
Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.
dbcve analysis · high confidenceThe Cognex 3D-A1000 Dimensioning System firmware 1.0.3 and prior contains a CWE-306 vulnerability where the webserver lacks proper authentication for critical password change functions. Attackers can intercept websocket communications from an unauthenticated session and replay commands to change operator account passwords, achieving privilege escalation to the compromised account's privileges.

Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify the device modelAccess the device's web interface or check system documentation to confirm the device is a Cognex 3D-A1000 Dimensioning SystemAffected if The device is not a Cognex 3D-A1000 model - this CVE only applies to that specific product
-
Check the installed firmware versionLog into the device web interface and navigate to the System or About section to view the firmware version, or use the device's API to query the firmware versionAffected if The firmware version is 1.0.3 or any version number indicating 3354 or lower
-
Verify network accessibility of the web interfaceAttempt to access the device web interface from an untrusted network segment using a web browser or HTTP client toolAffected if The web interface is accessible from network segments that should not have access (such as the internet or untrusted VLANs)
-
Test for unauthenticated websocket accessOpen the browser developer tools on the device login page, locate the websocket connection in the Network tab, and attempt to send password change commands without authenticatingAffected if Websocket commands can be sent without a valid session token or authentication cookie
The environment is affected if the device is a Cognex 3D-A1000 running firmware version 1.0.3 (3354) or lower and the web interface is accessible from untrusted networks.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.
From vendor dataApply vendor firmware update if available (version beyond 1.0.3); otherwise implement network segmentation and firewall rules to restrict access to the device's web interface to authorized IP addresses only.
