What is CVE-2025-58060?

OpenPrinting CUPS, an open-source printing system utilized across various Linux and Unix-like operating systems, is subject to a critical vulnerability that allows an authentication bypass. Specifically, in versions 2.4.12 and earlier, if the AuthType is set to anything other than Basic, the system fails to validate passwords when encountering Authorization: Basic ... headers. This oversight remains undetected during authentication attempts, enabling unauthorized access for malicious actors. Configurations permitting non-Basic authentication types are particularly susceptible. The issue has been resolved in version 2.4.13.

Affected Version(s)
