Insecure Password Hashing in Vasion Print Virtual Appliance by PrinterLogic

CVE-2025-34208

What is CVE-2025-34208?

CVE-2025-34208 is a notable vulnerability found in the Vasion Print Virtual Appliance, formerly known as PrinterLogic. This product provides print management solutions aimed at simplifying the printing process in enterprise environments. The vulnerability arises from the insecure hashing of user passwords, which are stored using unsalted SHA-512 hashes, with a fallback to unsalted SHA-1 hashes. This practice raises serious security concerns because the lack of salting and the choice of fast hashing algorithms make the passwords susceptible to various forms of attacks, such as dictionary or rainbow table attacks. Consequently, if an attacker gains access to the password database, they can recover clear-text passwords without significant effort. Furthermore, the flawed migration logic from SHA-1 to SHA-512 exposes users still relying on the older hashing method. Although some mitigation steps have been taken, the vulnerability is not entirely resolved, particularly within the legacy authentication framework.

Potential impact of CVE-2025-34208

1. Unauthorized Access: The vulnerability significantly increases the risk of unauthorized access to sensitive systems, as attackers can retrieve users' passwords and potentially exploit this information to gain elevated privileges or unauthorized control over the Vasion Print Virtual Appliance and connected network resources.

2. Data Breaches: With the retrieval of clear-text passwords, organizations risk exposing sensitive data stored within their systems. This breach can lead to the compromise of confidential information, resulting in reputational damage, financial loss, and potential legal ramifications for failing to protect user data adequately.

3. Legacy System Exploitation: The ongoing issues with the legacy authentication platform not only put existing users at risk but also complicate the security landscape. Attackers could specifically target systems that have not been updated or migrated to more secure protocols, creating a broader attack surface that can be exploited by malicious actors.
