CVE-2025-27650 is a critical security vulnerability identified in Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) products prior to Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.862 and Application 20.0.2014. The vulnerability arises from the improper handling and storage of private cryptographic keys within Docker overlay networks used by the application. Docker overlay networks enable containerized applications to communicate across multiple hosts, but if private keys are stored insecurely or exposed within these overlays, attackers with network access can potentially extract these keys. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 reflects the vulnerability's high impact and ease of exploitation: it requires no privileges, no user interaction, and can be exploited remotely over the network. Exposure of private keys compromises the confidentiality and integrity of encrypted communications and authentication mechanisms, potentially allowing attackers to impersonate legitimate services, decrypt sensitive data, or execute arbitrary code. The vulnerability is categorized under CWE-522, which pertains to insecure storage of sensitive information. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the critical nature of the flaw demands urgent remediation. The lack of available patches at the time of publication necessitates immediate interim mitigations to reduce risk. This vulnerability is particularly concerning for organizations leveraging Vasion Print in containerized environments, as Docker overlays are commonly used in modern IT infrastructures.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-27650 is substantial. Exposure of private keys can lead to unauthorized access to printing infrastructure, interception or manipulation of print jobs, and lateral movement within networks. This can disrupt business operations, leak confidential documents, and compromise compliance with data protection regulations such as GDPR. Organizations in sectors with high reliance on secure printing services—such as government, finance, healthcare, and critical infrastructure—face elevated risks. The vulnerability's network-based exploitation vector means attackers can operate remotely, increasing the threat surface. Additionally, the compromise of cryptographic keys may facilitate further attacks against connected systems, amplifying the potential damage. Given the critical severity and the integral role of print management in many enterprises, the operational and reputational consequences could be severe if exploited.

1. Immediately upgrade Vasion Print Virtual Appliance Host to version 22.0.862 or later and Application to version 20.0.2014 or newer once patches are available. 2. Until patches are deployed, isolate Docker overlay networks used by Vasion Print from untrusted networks to limit exposure. 3. Rotate all private keys associated with the affected components to invalidate potentially compromised credentials. 4. Implement strict network segmentation and access controls around containerized print management environments. 5. Monitor network traffic and system logs for unusual access patterns or attempts to extract sensitive keys. 6. Employ container security best practices, including scanning images for vulnerabilities and restricting container privileges. 7. Engage with Vasion Print support and subscribe to security advisories for timely updates. 8. Conduct security audits focusing on cryptographic key management and Docker overlay configurations. 9. Educate IT staff on the risks of insecure key storage and the importance of secure container orchestration. 10. Consider deploying runtime security tools that can detect anomalous container behavior indicative of exploitation attempts.
