Summary
CVE-2024-12648 is a critical-severity Out-of-bounds Write (CWE-787) vulnerability in Canon Mf455Dw Firmware. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Security Account Manager (T1003.002); ranked in the top 33% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SA-11 (Developer Testing and Evaluation) and SA-15 (Development Process, Standards, and Tools) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

CVE-2024-12648 is a buffer overflow vulnerability (CWE-787) in the processing of TIFF data EXIF tags within the firmware of certain Canon Small Office Multifunction Printers and Laser Printers. It affects specific models including Satera MF656Cdw/MF654Cdw (firmware v05.04 and earlier, sold in Japan), Color imageCLASS MF656Cdw/MF654Cdw/MF653Cdw/MF652Cdw and LBP633Cdw/LBP632Cdw (firmware v05.04 and earlier, sold in the US), and i-SENSYS MF657Cdw/MF655Cdw/MF651Cdw, LBP633Cdw, and LBP631Cdw (firmware v05.04 and earlier, sold in Europe). The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (Critical), reflecting its network accessibility, low attack complexity, and lack of prerequisites.
An unauthenticated attacker on the same network segment can exploit this vulnerability remotely by sending maliciously crafted TIFF data to the affected device. Successful exploitation may cause the printer to become unresponsive (denial of service) or allow arbitrary code execution, potentially compromising confidentiality, integrity, and availability with high impact.
Canon has published advisories detailing the vulnerability response, including mitigation measures and patch information, available at support pages such as https://canon.jp/support/support-info/250127vulnerability-response, https://psirt.canon/advisory-information/cp2025-001/, https://www.canon-europe.com/support/product-security/#news, and https://www.usa.canon.com/support/canon-product-advisories/service-notice-regarding-vulnerability-measure-against-buffer-overflow-for-laser-printers-and-small-office-multifunctional-printers. Security practitioners should review these for firmware updates and apply them promptly to vulnerable devices.

Mitigating Controls
Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Developer testing and evaluation (including fuzzing and bounds checks) finds out-of-bounds write flaws before deployment.
Requiring documented secure-development standards and tools can mandate bounds-checked coding practices that avoid the weakness.
Input validation can structurally reject or sanitize data that would otherwise trigger an out-of-bounds write.
Memory-protection mechanisms limit the exploitability and blast radius of a successful out-of-bounds write.

Vulnerability scanning and recording can discover out-of-bounds write flaws so they can be remediated.
Patching or replacing vulnerable software directly eliminates known instances of this coding weakness.
Secure-development practices (static analysis, bounds checking, code review) are the primary means of preventing out-of-bounds writes.
