CVE-2025-27661 is a session fixation vulnerability (CWE-384, tracked as OVE-20230524-0004) in Vasion Print, formerly known as PrinterLogic. It affects versions prior to Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.843 Application 20.0.1923. The vulnerability was published on 2025-03-05 and carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.1 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N).

Unauthenticated attackers can exploit this vulnerability over the network with low attack complexity and without requiring user interaction. Successful exploitation enables high-impact compromise of confidentiality and integrity, allowing attackers to fixate and potentially hijack user sessions.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Requires protection of session authenticity, which directly stops an attacker from using a stolen or fixed session identifier after authentication.

Limits the lifetime of any session (fixed or not), thereby reducing the window during which a stolen identifier remains usable.

Enforces that only properly authorized (i.e., freshly authenticated) sessions can access resources, making a pre-existing fixed session ID unusable.

Forces re-authentication under defined conditions, which should result in issuance of a fresh session identifier and invalidation of any prior one.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→CSF cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.

PR.AA-03 mostly match
prevents

Proper authentication processes must invalidate prior session identifiers to prevent fixation attacks.

PR.AA-01 partial match
prevents

Managing identities and credentials includes handling session identifiers as temporary credentials that must be invalidated on re-authentication.

PR.AA-04 partial match
prevents

Protecting and verifying identity assertions encompasses secure handling and regeneration of session tokens.

PR.PS-01 partial match
prevents

Configuration baselines can enforce session regeneration and timeout settings that block fixation.

finds

Security testing can detect session-fixation issues, yet the weakness absence does not replace comprehensive testing.

degrades

Access-control policy can mandate session invalidation on re-authentication, but does not prescribe the technical mechanism.

degrades

Identity-management procedures can require new session tokens after login, yet the control is broader than session handling.

degrades

Authentication-information rules can include session-token lifecycle requirements, but the control focuses on credential management.

prevents

Secure-SDLC requirement can embed session-fixation checks, but eliminating the weakness does not satisfy the full SDLC control.

prevents

Application-security requirements can specify session handling, yet the weakness fix alone does not meet the broader requirement.
