Unauthorized Access to Embedded Device APIs

CVE-2024-1223

Summary

This vulnerability poses a risk by potentially enabling unauthorized attackers to enumerate sensitive information from the APIs of embedded devices. Successful exploitation requires the attacker to have prior knowledge of valid usernames, device identities, and an essential internal system key. Additionally, the system must be in a particular runtime state for the enumeration process to occur, thereby elevating the level of difficulty for attackers. However, organizations using affected versions of PaperCut NG and MF should take care to assess their current security posture and implement appropriate mitigating measures.
