CVE-2025-27654 identifies a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) software, specifically in versions before Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.862 Application 20.0.2014. XSS vulnerabilities arise when an application does not properly sanitize user-supplied input, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of the victim's browser. This vulnerability is categorized under CWE-79, which is a common web application security weakness. The CVSS 3.1 base score is 6.1, indicating a medium severity level. The vector string (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N) reveals that the attack can be launched remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), requires no privileges (PR:N), but does require user interaction (UI:R). The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability affects resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact affects confidentiality and integrity to a low degree (C:L/I:L) but does not affect availability (A:N). The vulnerability could allow attackers to steal session tokens, manipulate displayed content, or perform actions on behalf of the user if they can trick the user into clicking a crafted link or visiting a malicious page. No public exploits have been reported yet, but the presence of this vulnerability in print management software is concerning due to the potential access to sensitive print job data and administrative interfaces. The lack of patch links suggests that a fix may not yet be publicly available or is pending release. Organizations should monitor vendor advisories closely.

For European organizations, the impact of this XSS vulnerability could include unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information, such as print job details or user credentials, through session hijacking or cookie theft. Integrity could be compromised by injecting malicious scripts that alter the content or behavior of the print management interface, potentially leading to unauthorized print jobs or configuration changes. While availability is not directly impacted, the indirect effects of compromised integrity and confidentiality could disrupt business operations. Given that print management systems often integrate with enterprise networks and handle sensitive documents, exploitation could facilitate lateral movement or further attacks within the network. The requirement for user interaction means phishing or social engineering campaigns could be used to exploit this vulnerability, increasing the risk in environments with less security awareness. European organizations with remote or web-accessible print management portals are particularly at risk. The absence of known exploits reduces immediate risk but does not eliminate the threat, especially as attackers often develop exploits after vulnerability disclosure.

Organizations should prioritize upgrading Vasion Print to Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.862 Application 20.0.2014 or later once patches are available. Until then, implement strict input validation and output encoding on all user-supplied data fields within the print management interface to prevent script injection. Deploy Content Security Policy (CSP) headers to restrict the execution of unauthorized scripts. Use web application firewalls (WAFs) with rules targeting XSS attack patterns to provide an additional layer of defense. Educate users about the risks of clicking on unsolicited links or opening suspicious emails to reduce successful phishing attempts. Limit exposure by restricting access to the print management interface to trusted networks or VPNs. Conduct regular security assessments and penetration testing focused on web application vulnerabilities. Monitor logs for unusual activity that could indicate attempted exploitation. Coordinate with the vendor for timely patch deployment and stay informed about updates or advisories related to this vulnerability.
