🔒 AutomationDirect has disclosed multiple vulnerabilities in the CLICK PLUS series affecting firmware releases prior to v3.71. Issues include cleartext credential storage, a hard-coded AES key, an insecure RSA implementation, a predictable PRNG seed, authorization bypasses, and resource exhaustion flaws. CVSS v4 severity reaches 8.7 for the most critical cryptographic and key-generation weaknesses. AutomationDirect and CISA recommend updating to v3.80 and applying network isolation, access restrictions, logging, and endpoint protections until patches are deployed.

🔒 Cognex disclosed multiple high-severity vulnerabilities in In-Sight Explorer and firmware for the In-Sight 2000/7000/8000/9000 series (versions 5.x through 6.5.1). Identified issues include hard-coded credentials, cleartext management protocols (including telnet and a proprietary TCP 1069 service), weak default permissions, authentication bypass via capture-replay, and insufficient server-side enforcement. CISA assigns high CVSS scores (up to 8.8 v3.1 and 8.6 v4), warns of credential disclosure, configuration manipulation, and potential denial-of-service, and recommends migration to newer In-Sight Vision Suite systems and network isolation.

🔒 A cryptographic implementation error in Rockwell Automation's FactoryTalk Activation Manager v5.00 can allow attackers to decrypt communications, enabling data exposure, session hijacking, or full communication compromise. The issue is tracked as CVE-2025-7970 with a CVSS v4 base score of 8.7 and is exploitable remotely with low attack complexity. Users should update to Version 5.02 or later and follow vendor security guidance.
