CVE-2025-27665
📋 TL;DR
This vulnerability in Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) allows insufficient antivirus protection that could permit drivers containing known malicious code to execute. Systems running Virtual Appliance Host versions before 22.0.843 and Application versions before 20.0.1923 are affected. This could lead to malware execution on print servers and potentially connected systems.
💻 Affected Systems
- Vasion Print
- PrinterLogic

⚠️ Risk & Real-World Impact
Worst Case
Complete compromise of the print server leading to ransomware deployment, lateral movement to connected systems, and data exfiltration from the entire print infrastructure.
Likely Case
Malware execution on the print server resulting in service disruption, credential theft, and potential privilege escalation within the print management environment.
If Mitigated
Contained malware execution limited to the print server with minimal impact due to network segmentation and restricted permissions.
🎯 Exploit Status
Exploitation requires ability to upload drivers, which typically requires administrative access or compromised credentials. The CWE-693 (Protection Mechanism Failure) suggests the antivirus scanning is bypassed rather than a direct code execution flaw.
🛠️ Fix & Mitigation
✅ Official Fix
Patch Version: Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.843 or later, Application 20.0.1923 or later
Vendor Advisory: https://help.printerlogic.com/saas/Print/Security/Security-Bulletins.htm
Restart Required: Yes
Instructions:
1. Backup current configuration. 2. Download updated Virtual Appliance from vendor portal. 3. Deploy new Virtual Appliance version 22.0.843+. 4. Update Application component to 20.0.1923+. 5. Restart services and verify functionality.
🔧 Temporary Workarounds
Restrict Driver Uploads
allTemporarily disable or restrict driver upload functionality until patching can be completed
# Configure via Vasion Print admin interface: Settings > Security > Driver Management > Restrict Uploads
Enhanced Antivirus Scanning
linuxImplement additional antivirus scanning on the virtual appliance host system
# Install and configure additional AV on the host OS
# Example for Ubuntu: sudo apt install clamav && sudo freshclam
🧯 If You Can't Patch
- Network segment print servers from critical systems and implement strict firewall rules
- Implement application allowlisting to prevent execution of unauthorized binaries on print servers
🔍 How to Verify
Check if Vulnerable:
Check Virtual Appliance version in admin interface: Settings > About. Verify version is below 22.0.843 for Host or 20.0.1923 for Application.Check Version:
# SSH to virtual appliance and check version: cat /opt/printerlogic/version.txt || dpkg -l | grep printerlogicVerify Fix Applied:
Confirm version shows 22.0.843 or higher for Virtual Appliance Host and 20.0.1923 or higher for Application component.📡 Detection & Monitoring
