What to do

Solution: Avtec recommends users update to Outpost v5.0 to resolve. * When upgrading to Outpost Version 5.0.0 or later, reset the list of users to the default. More information and instructions can be found on Avtec's Outpost Uploader Utility User Guide https://connect.avtecinc.com/bundle/Outpost_Uploader_Utility_User_Guide/page/Content/Outpost_User_Guide/Reset_Web_Auth.html  for more information. * Restrict access to port 80 or disable web interface if possible. Additionally, Avtec recommends checking devices for Scout firmware versions prior to 5.8.1, which was commonly coupled with Outpost firmware. If so, the devices may also need to be updated to the latest firmware. For more information, please visit Scout Release Notes https://connect.avtecinc.com/bundle/Scout_Release_Notes_5_8/resource/Release_Notes_Scout.pdf .
