What is CVE-2013-4613?

The Canon MG3100, MG5300, MG6100, MP495, MX340, MX870, MX890, MX920, and MX922 printers feature a default administrative interface that lacks authentication safeguards. This oversight allows remote attackers to access the Advanced settings page, enabling unauthorized modifications to printer configurations. Although Canon has indicated that this default setting was designed for user convenience, it poses a significant risk for users concerned about unauthorized access to their devices. Users are advised to configure their printers to require a password to mitigate this vulnerability.
