Opto 22 — Vulnerabilities & Security Advisories 9

Opto 22 specializes in industrial automation and control systems, providing hardware and software for manufacturing and process control. Historically, their systems have faced vulnerabilities including remote code execution, cross-site scripting, and privilege escalation, often stemming from default credentials and insufficient input validation. The company's products, which typically run on proprietary operating systems like groov, have been targeted in several notable incidents, including a 2018 advisory warning of hardcoded credentials in firmware. While no major breaches have been widely documented, the presence of nine CVEs indicates persistent security challenges in their legacy systems, particularly around web interfaces and communication protocols.
