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 · high confidence

Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) contains a hardcoded password vulnerability (V-2024-013) in versions prior to Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.1002 and Application 20.0.2614. The hardcoded password allows unauthenticated attackers to gain unauthorized access to the system, potentially leading to complete compromise of the print management infrastructure.

MitigationUpdate Vasion Print Virtual Appliance Host to version 22.0.1002 or later and Application to version 20.0.2614 or later to remediate the hardcoded password vulnerability.

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. Check Virtual Appliance Host version
    Access the Virtual Appliance admin interface and navigate to System > About or use the command line to retrieve the appliance host version (typically via 'plctl version' or similar utility provided by Vasion/PrinterLogic)
    Affected if version is below 22.0.1002
  2. Check Application version
    Access the Vasion Print application administration console and locate the version information, typically found in Help > About or the dashboard status panel
    Affected if version is below 20.0.2614
  3. Locate hardcoded credential in configuration
    Examine application configuration files and scripts for embedded passwords (look for static password strings in XML, properties, or script files within the Vasion/PrinterLogic installation directory)
    Affected if any static password string is found in configuration or code files
  4. Verify credential presence in source or scripts
    Search the application installation directory for hardcoded password patterns using grep or similar text search tools across config and script files
    Affected if search results reveal non-encrypted password values embedded in application files

You are affected if either your Virtual Appliance Host version is below 22.0.1002 or your Application version is below 20.0.2614, or if static credentials are found embedded in your installation.

Interim mitigation

Update Vasion Print Virtual Appliance Host to version 22.0.1002 or later and Application to version 20.0.2614 or later to remediate the hardcoded password vulnerability.

Recommended fix High confidence

Vasion Print 20.0.2614 or Virtual Appliance 22.0.1002 or higher

  1. Backup the current Vasion Print/Virtual Appliance configuration and data
  2. Download the latest Vasion Print installer (version 20.0.2614 or higher) or Virtual Appliance image (version 22.0.1002 or higher) from the official vendor portal
  3. Upgrade the Virtual Appliance to version 22.0.1002 or higher first (if running the appliance)
  4. Upgrade the Vasion Print application to version 20.0.2614 or higher
  5. Verify the upgrade was successful by checking the version number in the admin console
  6. Test critical printing workflows to ensure functionality
