CVE-2025-27681
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 1.0.735 Application 20.0.1330 mishandles Client Inter-process Security V-2022-004.
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 (formerly PrinterLogic) contains a security misconfiguration in how it handles Client Inter-process Security (V-2022-004). The vulnerability allows mishandling of client-side inter-process communication, potentially enabling privilege escalation or remote code execution due to inadequate security boundaries between processes.

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.
-
Check Vasion Print client versionOpen the Vasion Print client application, go to Help > About, or run 'printlogic --version' from command line if available. Also check Add/Remove Programs on Windows or the application bundle on macOS.Affected if Installed version is below 20.0.1330
-
Check Virtual Appliance versionLog into the Virtual Appliance admin console or access the appliance via SSH and run: cat /etc/version or cat /opt/printlogic/version (path may vary based on installation).Affected if Virtual Appliance version is below 1.0.735
-
Verify Client Inter-process Security configurationCheck the Vasion Print client configuration files for inter-process communication settings. Look in the client install directory for config.xml, client.config, or similar configuration files. Search for settings related to V-2022-004 or ClientIPC.Affected if Inter-process security settings are present and configured in an insecure manner (allow, permissive, or disabled)
A user is affected if they are running any Vasion Print client below version 20.0.1330 or any Virtual Appliance below version 1.0.735 with Client Inter-process Security (V-2022-004) enabled or configured.

Upgrade Vasion Print Virtual Appliance Host to version 1.0.735 or higher and Application to version 20.0.1330 or higher to remediate the inter-process security mishandling vulnerability.
Vasion Print Application 20.0.1330 and Virtual Appliance 1.0.735 (or higher)
- 1. Determine current Vasion Print version by logging into the admin console or checking the application's About section
- 2. Determine current Virtual Appliance version from the V-A Host management interface
- 3. For Virtual Appliance: Upgrade to Virtual Appliance version 1.0.735 or higher by downloading the latest appliance image from help.printerlogic.com and following the upgrade instructions
- 4. For Vasion Print Application: Upgrade to version 20.0.1330 or higher through the Virtual Appliance management console
- 5. After upgrade, verify the new versions are installed (Application should show 20.0.1330+, Virtual Appliance should show 1.0.735+)
- 6. Test critical print workflows to confirm functionality after upgrade
