If you're running the Consilium Safety CS5000 fire panel on board, hardcoded credentials could let an attacker shut it down remotely.
 
As a result, if the system is taken offline, your vessel could be detained, lose its class certification, or be prevented from sailing altogether.
 
There is no patch available. The vendor has stated they won’t fix the issue unless cybersecurity was part of your original contract.
