Vulnerability in Vasion (CVE-2025-34223)
Summary
Vulnerability in Vasion (CVE-2025-34223). Successful exploitation can lead to full system takeover. Exploitable via root_user.
Original description
The description as published by the source.
Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Virtual Appliance Host prior to version 22.0.1049 and Application prior to version 20.0.2786 (VA/SaaS deployments) contain a default admin account and an installation‑time endpoint at /admin/query/update_database.php that can be accessed without authentication. An attacker who can reach the installation web interface can POST arbitrary root_user and root_password values, causing the script to replace the default admin credentials with attacker‑controlled ones. The script also contains hard‑coded SHA‑512 and SHA‑1 hashes of the default password, allowing the attacker to bypass password‑policy validation. As a result, an unauthenticated remote attacker can obtain full administrative control of the system during the initial setup. This vulnerability has been identified by the vendor as: V-2024-022 — Insecure Installation Credentials.
