Screen of Danger: AutomationDirect HMIs Hit by Triple Threat Vulnerabilities

Beware, AutomationDirect users: your C-MORE EA9 HMI might just be an open invitation for cyber party-crashers! With vulnerabilities like Path Traversal and Password Peepshows, update to V6.78 before hackers RSVP.

With a buffet of vulnerabilities, including the classic path traversal and a charming stack-based buffer overflow, it's no wonder CISA is playing cybersecurity nanny. Let's update and maybe not store our secrets on a Post-it note, shall we?
