Summary
Red Lion Controls 700 Series firmware before 3.11.0 and bootloader before 2.0.6.1 are affected. The devices download firmware and bootloader code without an integrity check (CWE-494), so malicious files can be accepted. No authentication is required for these updates, and anyone with the same software can scan a network and push or pull firmware over SNMP and TFTP.

Description from the CNA
No authentication is required when updating firmware or bootloader, making it easy for malicious files to be pushed to the device. Additionally, anyone with the same software can scan a network for N-Tron devices and push/pull firmware without authenticating by using SNMP/TFTP.
