    "A vulnerability in the software's authentication code (bug type
    CWE-303) could allow an unauthenticated remote attacker to bypass authentication controls and login to the device via its management
    interface."

    "An attacker could exploit this vulnerability by logging in to an
    affected device with crafted credentials."

    "A successful exploit could allow the attacker to bypass authentication
    and log in to the device as an administrator."

    "The advisory refers to the vulnerability as CVE-2022-20695"


    There are a couple of workarounds mentioned in the article for those
    unable to patch immediately.
