CVE-2025-34189: Unauthorized Action Execution in Vasion Print Due to Vulnerable IPC Mechanism

Views: 360

Overview

This report covers the CVE-2025-34189 vulnerability found in Vasion Print’s Virtual Appliance Host and Application versions. The flaw lies in the local inter-process communication (IPC) mechanism that can be exploited by a local attacker to hijack user sessions and perform unauthorized actions. This poses a significant threat to system integrity and data confidentiality.

Vasion Print Application (macOS/Linux client deployments) | Versions prior to 20.0.1330

How the Exploit Works

The vulnerability stems from the misuse of IPC mechanism. IPC request and response files are stored inside /opt/PrinterInstallerClient/tmp, which have world-readable and world-writable permissions. Therefore, any local user can craft malicious request files, which when processed by privileged daemons, can lead to unauthorized actions being performed in other user sessions.

Conceptual Example Code

Below is a conceptual shell command an attacker might use to exploit this vulnerability:

echo "{malicious_command: '...'}" > /opt/PrinterInstallerClient/tmp/request-file

This command creates a request file with a malicious command in the location that is processed by privileged daemons, leading to the potential execution of unauthorized actions.
