CVE-2025-27652 is a critical Server-Side Request Forgery (SSRF) vulnerability identified in Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) software, specifically affecting versions prior to Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.862 Application 20.0.2014. SSRF vulnerabilities occur when an attacker can abuse a server to send unauthorized requests to internal or external systems, potentially bypassing firewall restrictions and accessing sensitive resources. This vulnerability does not require authentication or user interaction, making it highly exploitable remotely over the network. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 9.8 reflects its critical impact on confidentiality, integrity, and availability. An attacker exploiting this flaw could perform unauthorized internal network scanning, access internal services, exfiltrate data, or launch further attacks such as remote code execution depending on the internal systems exposed. The vulnerability is classified under CWE-918, which covers SSRF issues. Although no public exploits have been reported yet, the nature of SSRF and the critical CVSS score indicate a high likelihood of future exploitation attempts. Vasion Print is a print management solution widely used in enterprise environments to manage print infrastructure, making this vulnerability particularly concerning for organizations relying on centralized print services. The lack of available patches at the time of disclosure necessitates immediate attention to upgrade to the fixed version once available or apply interim mitigations.

For European organizations, the impact of CVE-2025-27652 is significant due to the critical role print management systems play in enterprise environments. Exploitation could lead to unauthorized access to internal networks, exposing sensitive data and critical infrastructure. Confidentiality breaches could involve leakage of internal documents or credentials, while integrity and availability impacts could disrupt print services, affecting business operations. The SSRF nature allows attackers to pivot within the network, potentially compromising other internal systems or launching ransomware attacks. Organizations in sectors such as government, finance, healthcare, and manufacturing, which often rely on centralized print management, face heightened risks. The vulnerability's ease of exploitation without authentication increases the threat surface, making it a priority for security teams. Additionally, the potential for lateral movement within networks could amplify the damage caused by an initial compromise.

1. Immediately upgrade Vasion Print installations to Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.862 Application 20.0.2014 or later once patches are released. 2. Until patches are available, restrict network access to the print management server by implementing strict firewall rules limiting inbound and outbound traffic to only trusted sources and destinations. 3. Employ network segmentation to isolate print management infrastructure from critical internal systems to reduce lateral movement risk. 4. Monitor network traffic for unusual outbound requests originating from the print server that could indicate SSRF exploitation attempts. 5. Conduct regular vulnerability scans and penetration tests focusing on print infrastructure to detect potential exploitation. 6. Review and harden configurations of the print management system, disabling any unnecessary features or services that could be abused. 7. Educate IT and security teams about SSRF risks and signs of exploitation specific to print management environments. 8. Implement strict egress filtering to prevent unauthorized external requests from the print server. 9. Maintain up-to-date asset inventories to quickly identify affected systems and prioritize remediation efforts.
