Put simply

Think of it like a restaurant where anyone can walk into the kitchen without any checks. Suddenly, anyone can tweak the recipes or mess with the food! The flaw in Carlo Gavazzi VMU-C EM and VMU-C PV devices allows unauthorized access to most application functions due to a lack of proper authentication checks.
