Official description Straight from the sourceThe vendor's or NVD's own wording, published unedited. Authoritative, but often terse — it says what broke, rarely what to do.

NVD · unedited
Certain HP DesignJet products may be vulnerable to credential reflection which allow viewing SMTP server credentials.

Technical summary Written by usOur analysis, written from the advisory, the CVSS vector and the affected-version data. It adds context the advisory leaves out, and never invents facts that are not in the source.

dbcve analysis · moderate confidence

HP DesignJet products contain a credential reflection vulnerability that allows authenticated users or attackers to view SMTP server credentials stored on the device. This credential reflection issue exposes sensitive authentication data that should not be accessible through the product's interface.

MitigationApply available HP firmware updates for affected DesignJet products. Until patches are available, restrict network access to device management interfaces and verify that default credentials have been changed.

Verify against the referenced sources before acting — the references below are authoritative for this CVE, this summary is not.

Affected products & versions What the vendor confirmedThe version ranges the vendor confirmed as vulnerable. If your version sits inside a range here, treat yourself as exposed until you have upgraded.

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 checks

Work through these to decide whether this CVE applies to you.

  1. Determine the device firmware version
    Access the HP DesignJet web interface or control panel and navigate to the About or Support section to view the installed firmware version. Compare this version against the affected range (all versions prior to 001.2419b).
    Affected if The installed firmware version is earlier than 001.2419b for your specific model (F9a29a, F9a29b, F9a29c, F9a29d, F9a29e, F9a29g, T5d66a, or F9a30a).
  2. Verify if SMTP configuration is present
    Log into the device web interface as an authenticated user and navigate to the email or SMTP settings section. Check whether an SMTP server is configured with stored credentials.
    Affected if SMTP server credentials are stored on the device.
  3. Test for credential reflection exposure
    As an authenticated user, access the SMTP configuration page or API endpoint where credentials are displayed. Observe whether the password or authentication tokens are visible in plain text or returned in the response.
    Affected if SMTP credentials are exposed and readable through the authenticated interface when they should be masked or hidden.

You are affected if your HP DesignJet firmware is before version 001.2419b and you have SMTP credentials configured on the device, with those credentials visible to authenticated users through the interface.

Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.

Check your environment

Paste your version and any relevant configuration and it will be compared against the affected criteria above. Do not include secrets or credentials.

Remediation Closing itWhat it takes to close this. Where a vendor fix exists we point at it; where none exists we say so plainly, and can build one. Effort estimates are scoped from the advisory, not from your codebase.

dbcve · scoped
Upgrade available Upgrade to 001.2419b or later
Fixed in 001.2419b
Interim mitigation

Apply available HP firmware updates for affected DesignJet products. Until patches are available, restrict network access to device management interfaces and verify that default credentials have been changed.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Firmware version 001.2419b or later for affected HP DesignJet models

  1. Identify the specific HP DesignJet model (F9a29a, F9a29b, F9a29c, F9a29d, F9a29e, F9a29g, T5d66a, or F9a30a) from the product label or control panel
  2. Navigate to the HP Support website (support.hp.com) and locate the firmware download page for your specific DesignJet model
  3. Download the latest firmware version (001.2419b or later) from HP's official support page
  4. Follow HP's firmware update instructions, typically involving connecting the printer to a computer via USB or network and using the HP Firmware Download Manager utility
  5. After updating, verify the firmware version displays 001.2419b or higher on the printer control panel
