CVE-2025-27674
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 22.0.843 Application 20.0.1923 allows Hardcoded IdP Key V-2023-006.
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 confidenceVasion Print (PrinterLogic) contains a hardcoded Identity Provider (IdP) cryptographic key in versions prior to Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.843 and Application 20.0.1923. This hardcoded key (V-2023-006) cannot be rotated or changed by administrators, potentially allowing attackers to impersonate the IdP or bypass authentication mechanisms.

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.
-
Determine installed Vasion Print application versionAccess the PrinterLogic/Vasion Print admin console and navigate to the About or System Information section to view the current version number. Alternatively, check the application's installer or the software inventory on the host system.Affected if The installed version is below 20.0.1923 for the Application component or below 22.0.843 for the Virtual Appliance Host component.
-
Identify if IdP/SAML authentication is configuredLog into the PrinterLogic admin panel and navigate to Settings > Identity Provider or Settings > SSO/SAML Configuration. Verify whether an external Identity Provider has been configured and is currently enabled.Affected if An external IdP or SAML single sign-on is configured and active, as this is the feature that relies on the hardcoded cryptographic key.
-
Review IdP configuration for hardcoded credentialsExamine the IdP configuration files or XML metadata stored on the Virtual Appliance. Look for embedded cryptographic keys, certificates, or secrets that appear static rather than generated per-deployment.Affected if A static, unchanging cryptographic key or secret is found embedded in the IdP configuration or application files.
-
Check authentication logs for token anomaliesReview PrinterLogic authentication and audit logs for patterns such as successful logins from unexpected IP ranges, unusual token claims, or authentication attempts using the same token multiple times across different sessions.Affected if Authentication logs show suspicious patterns indicative of token forgery or reuse that suggests the hardcoded key may have been exploited.
A user is affected if their installed version is below 20.0.1923 (Application) or 22.0.843 (Virtual Appliance) AND they have an IdP/SAML authentication configured, as this combination exposes the environment to token forgery via the hardcoded key.

dbcve · scoped20.0.192322.0.843
Update Vasion Print to Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.843 / Application 20.0.1923 or later to remove the hardcoded IdP key. After updating, verify IdP configuration and consider rotating any authentication tokens that may have been compromised.
Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.843 / Application 20.0.1923
- Determine the current version of Vasion Print (PrinterLogic) and the Virtual Appliance Host.
- Back up the current configuration and any custom IdP settings.
- Download the latest Vasion Print installer and Virtual Appliance Host update from the vendor (e.g., help.printerlogic.com).
- Upgrade the Virtual Appliance Host to version 22.0.843 or later.
- Upgrade the Vasion Print application to version 20.0.1923 or later.
- After upgrade, log in and reconfigure the IdP/SSO with a new, securely generated key to replace the removed hardcoded key.
- Verify that the hardcoded IdP key is no longer present and that single sign-on works correctly.
