Am I affected? How to checkSteps we derive from the advisory and the affected-version data, so you can decide whether this CVE reaches your setup. They are a guide, not a scan — your own configuration is the authority.
dbcve checksWork through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.
-
Identify printer modelCheck the printer label or web interface to confirm the device is an HP Enterprise LaserJet or HP LaserJet Managed modelAffected if The printer is NOT an HP Enterprise LaserJet or HP LaserJet Managed model (different models are not affected)
-
Check FutureSmart firmware versionAccess the printer's Embedded Web Server (EWS) by entering the printer's IP address in a browser, then navigate to the 'General' or 'Information' page to find the Firmware version. Alternatively, print a configuration page from the control panel to locate the FutureSmart versionAffected if The FutureSmart firmware version is 5.6.x (specifically any version prior to 5.6.0.2) or listed as '5.x' in the affected range
-
Verify IPsec is enabledIn the EWS, navigate to the 'Networking' or 'Security' tab and look for 'IPsec' or 'Internet Protocol Security' settings. Check if IPsec is turned ON or enabledAffected if IPsec is enabled or turned ON - this is the required condition for the vulnerability to be exploitable
You are affected if your printer is an HP Enterprise LaserJet or HP LaserJet Managed running FutureSmart version 5.6.x (prior to 5.6.0.2) and IPsec is currently enabled.

dbcve · scoped5.6.0.15.6.0.2
Disable IPsec on affected printers until a FutureSmart firmware update is available, or upgrade to a patched FutureSmart version if released.
FutureSmart 5 version 5.6.0.2
- Navigate to HP Support website and locate the firmware download page for your specific HP Enterprise LaserJet or HP LaserJet Managed Printer model
- Download the FutureSmart 5 firmware version 5.6.0.2 or later
- Access the printer's embedded web server (EWS) by entering the printer's IP address in a web browser
- Log in with administrator credentials
- Navigate to the Firmware Update or General Setup section
- Upload and install the downloaded firmware version 5.6.0.2
- Verify the installation was successful by checking the FutureSmart version in the printer's EWS or control panel
