CVE-2025-27676 is a Cross-Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability identified in Vasion Print (formerly known as PrinterLogic) versions prior to Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.843 Application 20.0.1923. The vulnerability specifically affects the Reports component (referenced as V-2023-002). XSS vulnerabilities, classified under CWE-79, occur when an application includes untrusted data in a web page without proper validation or escaping, allowing attackers to inject malicious scripts that execute in the context of a victim's browser. In this case, the vulnerability allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary scripts by tricking users into interacting with crafted reports or report parameters. The CVSS 3.1 base score of 6.1 indicates a medium severity level, with the vector string CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:L/A:N describing the following: the attack can be launched remotely over the network (AV:N) with low attack complexity (AC:L), no privileges required (PR:N), but requires user interaction (UI:R). The scope is changed (S:C), meaning the vulnerability can affect resources beyond the initially vulnerable component. The impact on confidentiality and integrity is low (C:L, I:L), with no impact on availability (A:N). No known exploits are currently in the wild, and no patches or vendor advisories are linked yet. The vulnerability is likely exploitable via maliciously crafted report inputs or URLs that, when viewed by an authenticated user, execute injected scripts potentially leading to session hijacking, credential theft, or unauthorized actions within the application context. Given the nature of Vasion Print as a print management solution, the Reports module is likely accessed by IT administrators or users managing print infrastructure, making the attack vector dependent on user interaction with the reports interface.

For European organizations, the exploitation of this XSS vulnerability could lead to unauthorized disclosure of sensitive information such as session tokens or user credentials, enabling further compromise of print management infrastructure. This could disrupt print services critical to business operations, especially in sectors heavily reliant on document workflows like finance, healthcare, and government. The changed scope (S:C) suggests that the impact could extend beyond the immediate application, potentially allowing attackers to pivot to other internal systems or escalate privileges. Although the vulnerability does not directly affect availability, the integrity and confidentiality impacts could facilitate broader attacks such as phishing or lateral movement within networks. Organizations with centralized print management using Vasion Print are at risk of targeted attacks exploiting this vulnerability, particularly if users with elevated privileges interact with maliciously crafted reports. The requirement for user interaction limits mass exploitation but does not eliminate risk, especially in environments where social engineering or spear-phishing campaigns are common. The lack of known exploits currently reduces immediate threat but should not lead to complacency given the medium severity and potential for future exploitation.

To mitigate this vulnerability, European organizations should implement the following specific measures: 1) Immediately review and restrict access to the Reports module in Vasion Print to only trusted and necessary personnel, minimizing exposure. 2) Educate users, especially administrators, about the risks of interacting with untrusted report links or inputs, emphasizing cautious behavior with unsolicited or unexpected reports. 3) Implement web application firewalls (WAFs) with custom rules to detect and block typical XSS payloads targeting the print management interface. 4) Monitor logs for unusual activity related to report access or injection attempts to detect early exploitation signs. 5) If possible, isolate the print management appliance within a segmented network zone with strict access controls to limit lateral movement in case of compromise. 6) Engage with Vasion Print vendor support channels to obtain patches or updates as soon as they become available and apply them promptly. 7) Conduct internal penetration testing focusing on the Reports module to identify and remediate any additional input validation weaknesses. 8) Consider implementing Content Security Policy (CSP) headers on the appliance’s web interface to reduce the impact of potential XSS attacks by restricting script execution sources.
