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
Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Virtual Appliance Host versions prior to 22.0.1002 and Application versions prior to 20.0.2614 (VA and SaaS deployments) contain multiple Docker containers that include outdated, end-of-life, unsupported, or otherwise vulnerable third-party components (examples: Nginx 1.17.x, OpenSSL 1.1.1d, various EOL Alpine/Debian/Ubuntu base images, and EOL Laravel/PHP libraries). These components are present across many container images and increase the product's attack surface, enabling exploitation chains when leveraged by an attacker. Multiple distinct EOL versions and unpatched libraries across containers; Nginx binaries date from 2019 in several images and Laravel versions observed include EOL releases (for example Laravel 5.5.x, 5.7.x, 5.8.x). This vulnerability has been identified by the vendor as: V-2024-014 — Outdated Dependencies.

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Vasion Print Virtual Appliance contains multiple Docker containers with numerous outdated, end-of-life third-party components including Nginx 1.17.x (from 2019), OpenSSL 1.1.1d, EOL Alpine/Debian/Ubuntu base images, and deprecated Laravel/PHP libraries (5.5.x, 5.7.x, 5.8.x). This widespread use of unsupported components across many container images significantly expands the attack surface and enables chained exploitation of multiple vulnerabilities.

MitigationUpgrade Vasion Print Virtual Appliance Host to version 22.0.1002 or later, and Application to version 20.0.2614 or later, which contain updated base images and dependencies. For SaaS deployments, verify with the vendor that tenant environments have been patched.

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 Vasion Virtual Appliance Application version
    Access the Vasion Print admin interface or Appliance Management console and locate the Application version information, typically found in System Information or About sections
    Affected if The displayed version is lower than 20.0.2614
  2. Check Vasion Virtual Appliance Host version
    Check the virtualization platform or hypervisor where the Vasion appliance is deployed, or access the appliance host system and locate the version information
    Affected if The host version is lower than 22.0.1002
  3. Verify Docker container components via CLI
    If you have shell access to the appliance, run 'docker ps' to list containers, then inspect individual containers for installed package versions such as 'nginx -v' for Nginx, 'openssl version' for OpenSSL, or check PHP/Laravel version via PHP CLI
    Affected if Nginx 1.17.x, OpenSSL 1.1.1d, or PHP versions 5.5.x/5.7.x/5.8.x are reported inside the containers

Your environment is affected if either the Vasion Virtual Appliance Application version is below 20.0.2614 or the Host version is below 22.0.1002, or if outdated components (Nginx 1.17.x, OpenSSL 1.1.1d, deprecated PHP/Laravel libraries) are found inside Docker containers.

Upgrade available Upgrade to 20.0.2614 / 22.0.1002 or later
Fixed in 20.0.261422.0.1002
Interim mitigation

Upgrade Vasion Print Virtual Appliance Host to version 22.0.1002 or later, and Application to version 20.0.2614 or later, which contain updated base images and dependencies. For SaaS deployments, verify with the vendor that tenant environments have been patched.

Recommended fix Moderate confidence

Virtual Appliance Application: 20.0.2614 or later; Virtual Appliance Host: 22.0.1002 or later

  1. Identify whether you are running Virtual Appliance Application or Virtual Appliance Host (or both)
  2. For Virtual Appliance Application: Upgrade to version 20.0.2614 or later
  3. For Virtual Appliance Host: Upgrade to version 22.0.1002 or later
  4. After upgrade, verify the Docker container images no longer contain the outdated components (Nginx 1.17.x, OpenSSL 1.1.1d, EOL Laravel/PHP libraries)
  5. Test that all printer logic and printing workflows function correctly post-upgrade
