CVE-2025-27651 is a critical Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability identified in Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) prior to the Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.862 Application 20.0.2014. SSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker can manipulate a vulnerable server to send crafted requests to internal or external systems, bypassing normal access controls. In this case, the vulnerability allows unauthenticated remote attackers to coerce the print management server into making arbitrary HTTP requests. This can lead to unauthorized access to internal services, data exfiltration, or further exploitation such as lateral movement within a network. The CVSS v3.1 score of 9.8 indicates a critical severity level, with an attack vector of network (AV:N), no privileges required (PR:N), no user interaction (UI:N), and impacts on confidentiality, integrity, and availability (C:H/I:H/A:H). The vulnerability is classified under CWE-918 (Server-Side Request Forgery). Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the high severity and ease of exploitation make it a significant threat. The lack of available patches at the time of publication necessitates immediate risk mitigation strategies. Vasion Print is widely used in enterprise print management, making this vulnerability relevant to organizations managing large print infrastructures.

The impact of CVE-2025-27651 on European organizations can be severe. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized internal network reconnaissance, access to sensitive internal services, and potential data breaches. Given the critical nature of print management systems in many enterprises, attackers could leverage this vulnerability to disrupt printing services, exfiltrate confidential documents, or pivot to other critical systems. This could result in operational downtime, loss of sensitive information, regulatory non-compliance (especially under GDPR), and reputational damage. Sectors such as government, finance, healthcare, and manufacturing, which often rely on centralized print management solutions, are particularly at risk. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation without authentication or user interaction increases the likelihood of automated attacks targeting vulnerable installations across Europe.

1. Apply patches and updates from Vasion Print as soon as they become available, specifically upgrading to Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.862 Application 20.0.2014 or later. 2. Until patches are released, implement network segmentation to isolate print management servers from sensitive internal networks and restrict their outbound HTTP/HTTPS traffic to only trusted destinations. 3. Employ web application firewalls (WAFs) or intrusion prevention systems (IPS) with rules designed to detect and block SSRF attack patterns targeting print management services. 4. Conduct thorough logging and monitoring of print server network traffic to identify unusual or unauthorized outbound requests. 5. Review and harden server configurations to minimize unnecessary services and reduce the attack surface. 6. Educate IT and security teams about SSRF risks and ensure incident response plans include scenarios involving print infrastructure compromise. 7. Engage with Vasion Print support channels to receive timely security advisories and guidance.
