"The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.");
  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"All FLIR AX8 thermal sensor cameras version up to and including
1.46.16 are vulnerable to Remote Command Injection. This can be
exploited to inject and execute arbitrary shell commands as the root
user through the id HTTP POST parameter in the res.php endpoint. A
successful exploit could allow the attacker to execute arbitrary
commands on the underlying operating system with the root privileges.
NOTE: The vendor has stated that with the introduction of firmware
version 1.49.16 (Jan 2023) the FLIR AX8 should no longer be affected
by the vulnerability reported. Latest firmware version (as of Oct
2025, was released Jun 2024) is 1.55.16.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
