CVE-2025-27663 is a critical vulnerability involving weak password encryption or encoding, designated as OVE-20230524-0007 and mapped to CWE-521. It affects Vasion Print, formerly known as PrinterLogic, specifically Virtual Appliance Host versions before 22.0.843 and Application versions before 20.0.1923. The vulnerability carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 9.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H), indicating severe risk due to its network accessibility and high impacts across the confidentiality, integrity, and availability triads.

Remote attackers require only network access to exploit this issue, with no privileges, user interaction, or special complexity needed. Exploitation of the weak password encryption or encoding can enable attackers to achieve high-level compromise, potentially allowing unauthorized access to sensitive data, system modification, and service disruption.

Mitigation guidance is provided in the official PrinterLogic security bulletin at https://help.printerlogic.com/saas/Print/Security/Security-Bulletins.htm.

Related Threats

MITRE ATT&CK Enterprise Techniques

T1110 Brute Force Credential Access
Adversaries may use brute force techniques to gain access to accounts when passwords are unknown or when password hashes are obtained.
T1110.001 Password Guessing Credential Access
Adversaries with no prior knowledge of legitimate credentials within the system or environment may guess passwords to attempt access to accounts.
T1110.002 Password Cracking Credential Access
Adversaries may use password cracking to attempt to recover usable credentials, such as plaintext passwords, when credential material such as password hashes are obtained.
T1110.003 Password Spraying Credential Access
Adversaries may use a single or small list of commonly used passwords against many different accounts to attempt to acquire valid account credentials.
T1133 External Remote Services Persistence
Adversaries may leverage external-facing remote services to initially access and/or persist within a network.
T1558.003 Kerberoasting Credential Access
Adversaries may abuse a valid Kerberos ticket-granting ticket (TGT) or sniff network traffic to obtain a ticket-granting service (TGS) ticket that may be vulnerable to [Brute Force](https://attack.
