Summary

CVE-2025-27678 is a critical-severity Code Injection (CWE-94) vulnerability in Printerlogic Vasion Print. Its CVSS base score is 9.8 (Critical).

Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Command and Scripting Interpreter (T1059); ranked in the top 32% 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 SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.

Vasion Print, formerly known as PrinterLogic, is affected by CVE-2025-27678, a client-side remote code execution flaw present in versions prior to Virtual Appliance Host 22.0.843 and Application 20.0.1923. The vulnerability is tracked under CWE-94 and carries a CVSS 3.1 score of 9.8, reflecting a network-accessible issue with no required authentication or user interaction that can fully compromise confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

An unauthenticated attacker can exploit the flaw over the network to achieve arbitrary code execution on the client, enabling full control of the affected system without any prior credentials or user assistance.

Vendor guidance published at the PrinterLogic security bulletins page directs customers to upgrade to the fixed releases; independent analyses and disclosure lists corroborate the same version thresholds as the remediation path.

EPSS for the CVE rose from lower values to a peak of 0.0708 on 2026-05-20 before receding to the current 0.0379, indicating a measurable increase in exploitation interest after public disclosure.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI

Developer testing and evaluation finds code paths that accept and execute externally influenced strings.

Input validation directly stops untrusted data from being used to construct executable code without neutralization.

Least privilege limits the damage an injected code fragment can perform once executed.

Requiring documented secure development standards and tools enforces use of safe code-generation APIs and escaping.

PR.PS-06 mostly match
prevents

PR.PS-06's SDLC practices directly target injection flaws via secure coding and testing (mostly), yet as a single broad outcome it leaves many code-generation specifics unaddressed (partial).

PR.DS-10 none match
prevents

PR.DS-10 protects runtime data confidentiality/integrity but has no bearing on neutralizing externally influenced input during code generation, so neither direction shows any preventive effect.

prevents

Banning unapproved code samples and unauthenticated web services, combined with secure-coding standards and SAST, prevents the dynamic generation or inclusion of attacker-supplied code.

none

Controls that restrict unauthorized or malicious code from being introduced via external networks or removable media limit opportunities for an attacker to inject and execute arbitrary code.
