Published: 09/29/2025 (09/29/2025, 20:36:26 UTC)
Source: CVE Database V5
Vendor/Project: Vasion
Product: Print Virtual Appliance Host

Description

Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Virtual Appliance Host prior to version 22.0.1049 and Application prior to version 20.0.2786 (VA and SaaS deployments) contain a private SSL key and matching public certificate stored in cleartext. The key belongs to the hostname `pl‑local.com` and is used by the appliance to terminate TLS connections on ports 80/443. Because the key is hardcoded, any attacker who can gain container-level access can simply read the files and obtain the private key. With the private key, the attacker can decrypt TLS traffic, perform man-in-the-middle attacks, or forge TLS certificates. This enables impersonation of the appliance’s web UI, interception of credentials, and unrestricted access to any services that trust the certificate. The same key is identical across all deployed appliances meaning a single theft compromises the confidentiality of every Vasion Print installation. This vulnerability has been identified by the vendor as: V-2024-025 — Hardcoded SSL Certificate & Private Keys.

Technical Analysis

The vulnerability CVE-2025-34211 (CWE-321) affects Vasion Print Virtual Appliance Host versions prior to 22.0.1049 and Application versions prior to 20.0.2786. A private SSL key and public certificate for hostname 'pl-local.com' are hardcoded and stored in cleartext within the appliance. Because the key is identical across all deployments, compromise of one appliance exposes all others. An attacker with container-level privileges can read the private key, allowing decryption of TLS traffic, man-in-the-middle attacks, and forging of TLS certificates to impersonate the appliance’s web interface or intercept credentials. This vulnerability is tracked as V-2024-025 by the vendor.

Potential Impact

The impact is critical as the hardcoded private key enables attackers with container access to decrypt TLS communications, perform man-in-the-middle attacks, and impersonate the appliance’s web UI. This leads to interception of sensitive credentials and unrestricted access to services trusting the certificate. Since the key is identical across all installations, a single compromise affects the confidentiality and integrity of every Vasion Print deployment.

Mitigation Recommendations

Patch status is not yet confirmed — check the vendor advisory for current remediation guidance. No official patch or fix links are provided in the available data. Until a fix is available, restrict container-level access to trusted users only and monitor for unauthorized access. Follow vendor advisories closely for updates on remediation.
