Raw vector
CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:NSummary
CVE-2025-27685 is a high-severity Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information (CWE-312) vulnerability in Printerlogic Vasion Print. Its CVSS base score is 7.5 (High).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique Credentials In Files (T1552.001); ranked at the 30th percentile by exploit likelihood (below the median); it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to SC-28 (Protection of Information at Rest) — see the control section below for these in your framework.

Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
CVE-2025-27685 is a vulnerability in Vasion Print, formerly known as PrinterLogic, affecting versions before Virtual Appliance Host 1.0.735 Application 20.0.1330. It involves a configuration file that exposes a Certificate Authority (CA) certificate and private key, corresponding to CWE-312 (Cleartext Storage of Sensitive Information). The issue carries a CVSS v3.1 base score of 7.5 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:N/A:N), highlighting high confidentiality impact with network-based exploitation potential.
Unauthenticated attackers with network access can exploit this vulnerability with low complexity and no user interaction required. Successful exploitation allows remote retrieval of the configuration file, yielding the CA certificate and private key, which could facilitate subsequent attacks like impersonation or interception of print-related communications.
Mitigation requires updating to Virtual Appliance Host 1.0.735 Application 20.0.1330 or later. Vendor security bulletins are available at https://help.printerlogic.com/saas/Print/Security/Security-Bulletins.htm, alongside details in Pierre Kim's disclosure of 83 Vasion/PrinterLogic vulnerabilities at https://pierrekim.github.io/blog/2025-04-08-vasion-printerlogic-83-vulnerabilities.html and the Full Disclosure mailing list at http://seclists.org/fulldisclosure/2025/Apr/18.

SC-28 requires cryptographic or equivalent protection of sensitive data at rest, directly stopping cleartext storage in accessible resources.

Derived directly from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry via our AI-authored CWE→ISO cross-walk (authority under review) — links open the control.
Requiring non-standard deletion or physical destruction of media ensures that sensitive information is not left in cleartext on discarded or repurposed equipment.
Secure deletion of data before device transfer prevents residual sensitive information from remaining in cleartext on storage media that leave organizational control.
Secure deletion of obsolete or temporary copies prevents sensitive data from remaining in cleartext on disk after its intended lifetime.
Substituting real values with hashes or encrypted tokens before storage reduces the quantity of cleartext sensitive information that ends up persisted on disk.
When clear-text sensitive data is detected leaving controlled storage, the control can block the transfer, thereby limiting the exposure that would result from unencrypted storage on external media or cloud services.
By insisting that any retained test copies be stored securely and only for testing, the control reduces the likelihood that clear-text operational data will persist on disk or in backups.
