CVE-2025-27653
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 · uneditedVasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) before Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.862 Application 20.0.2014 allows Preauthenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS): Badge Registration V-2023-012.
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 confidenceVasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) contains a pre-authenticated Cross Site Scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Badge Registration functionality. An unauthenticated attacker can inject malicious JavaScript code through the Badge Registration endpoint (V-2023-012), which executes in the browsers of users who access the affected page, potentially leading to session hijacking or credential theft.

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 installed Vasion Print versionLog into the Vasion Print admin console and navigate to Help > About, or check the version displayed on the login page. For Virtual Appliance, check the appliance management interface for the version number.Affected if The installed version is below 20.0.2014 for the application or below 22.0.862 for the Virtual Appliance.
-
Confirm Badge Registration feature is enabledAccess the Vasion Print admin panel and navigate to the Badge Registration settings (typically under Admin > Badge Registration or System Settings > Badge Settings). Verify if the feature is toggled to enabled.Affected if The Badge Registration feature is enabled in the Vasion Print configuration.
-
Check Badge Registration endpoint accessibilityAttempt to access the Badge Registration endpoint directly via browser or curl: /admin/badge-registration or the V-2023-012 endpoint path. Determine if the page loads without authentication.Affected if The Badge Registration endpoint loads without requiring authentication.
-
Verify XSS vulnerability existsSubmit a benign XSS test payload (such as <script>alert(1)</script>) through the Badge Registration form fields. If the payload executes or is reflected unescaped in the response, the vulnerability is present.Affected if The submitted payload is reflected in the page source without proper encoding or sanitization, indicating the XSS vulnerability is present.
Your environment is affected if you are running Vasion Print version below 20.0.2014 (application) or 22.0.862 (Virtual Appliance) AND the Badge Registration feature is enabled and accessible.
Generated from the published advisory. Verify against your own configuration.
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.

Upgrade Vasion Print Virtual Appliance Host to version 22.0.862 or later and Application to version 20.0.2014 or later to obtain the patched version. As a temporary mitigation, restrict external access to the Badge Registration endpoint using network-level controls or a WAF.
Vasion Print Application 20.0.2014 / Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.862
- Back up the current Vasion Print configuration and database

- Upgrade the Virtual Appliance Host to version 22.0.862
- Upgrade the Vasion Print Application to version 20.0.2014
- Log in to the admin console and verify the Badge Registration functionality works correctly
- Confirm the XSS vulnerability is no longer present by testing Badge Registration input fields
