CVE-2025-27648 is a critical security vulnerability identified in Vasion Print (formerly known as PrinterLogic) prior to version Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.913 Application 20.0.2253. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-522, which relates to insufficiently protected credentials, specifically allowing cross-tenant password exposure. This means that an attacker can remotely access and retrieve passwords belonging to other tenants within the same print management environment. The CVSS v3.1 base score is 9.8, reflecting a network-based attack vector (AV:N), low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), unchanged scope (S:U), and high impact on confidentiality (C:H), integrity (I:H), and availability (A:H). The flaw likely stems from improper isolation or encryption of credential storage or transmission between tenants in a multi-tenant print management system. Exploitation could allow attackers to compromise multiple tenant accounts, leading to unauthorized access to print jobs, administrative controls, and potentially lateral movement within the affected network. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the severity and ease of exploitation make this a critical threat. The vulnerability affects organizations using the specified versions of Vasion Print, particularly those operating multi-tenant or shared print environments. The lack of available patches at the time of disclosure necessitates immediate risk mitigation through compensating controls.

For European organizations, this vulnerability poses a significant risk to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of print infrastructure and associated data. Exposure of passwords across tenants can lead to unauthorized access to sensitive documents, disruption of printing services, and potential escalation to broader network compromise. Organizations in sectors such as government, finance, healthcare, and large enterprises that rely on centralized print management solutions are particularly vulnerable. The cross-tenant nature of the flaw increases the risk in multi-tenant environments such as managed service providers or shared office spaces common in Europe. Disruption or data leakage could result in regulatory non-compliance, reputational damage, and operational downtime. Given the critical CVSS score and no required privileges or user interaction, the threat can be exploited remotely and at scale, amplifying potential impact across European entities.

1. Immediately inventory all Vasion Print deployments and identify versions prior to Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.913 Application 20.0.2253. 2. Apply patches or updates as soon as they become available from the vendor; monitor vendor communications closely. 3. Until patches are available, implement strict network segmentation to isolate print management systems from other critical infrastructure and limit access to trusted administrators only. 4. Enforce strong authentication and access controls on print management consoles and related services. 5. Monitor network traffic and logs for unusual access patterns or attempts to retrieve credentials across tenants. 6. Consider deploying additional encryption layers for credentials and sensitive data in transit and at rest within the print environment. 7. Conduct regular security audits and penetration testing focused on print infrastructure to detect potential exploitation attempts. 8. Educate IT and security teams about the vulnerability and ensure incident response plans include scenarios involving print system compromise.
