CVE-2025-34200
An attacker with local shell access can read /etc/issue to obtain the network account username and password.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (0.34%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Virtual Appliance Host and Application (VA and SaaS deployments) provision the appliance with the network account credentials in clear-text inside /etc/issue, and the file is world-readable by default. An attacker with local shell access can read /etc/issue to obtain the network account username and password. Using the network account an attacker can change network parameters via the appliance interface, enabling local misconfiguration, network disruption or further escalation depending on deployment.
