CVE-2025-34203: Critical Vulnerability in Vasion Print Virtual Appliance Host and Application Versions

Ameeba’s Mission: Our mission is to safeguard freedom from surveillance through anonymization.

Overview

CVE-2025-34203 is a severe vulnerability that affects Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Virtual Appliance Host versions prior to 22.0.1002 and Application versions prior to 20.0.2614. This cybersecurity flaw pertains to multiple Docker containers within these versions, which include outdated, end-of-life, unsupported, and otherwise vulnerable third-party components such as Nginx 1.17.x, OpenSSL 1.1.1d and various End of Life (EOL) Alpine/Debian/Ubuntu base images, and EOL Laravel/PHP libraries. This vulnerability is of great concern due to its potential system compromise or data leakage which can have significant impacts on users’ privacy and security.

Vasion Print Application | Versions prior to 20.0.2614

How the Exploit Works

The exploit takes advantage of the outdated, end-of-life, unsupported, or otherwise vulnerable third-party components present in the Docker containers of the affected versions of Vasion Print’s products. By leveraging these vulnerable components, an attacker can increase the product’s attack surface, enabling exploitation chains. This could lead to potential system compromise or data leakage, affecting the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the system and data.

Conceptual Example Code

While an exact exploit code for this vulnerability is not known, a conceptual example might involve a shell command that targets the outdated or unsupported components. For example:

$ docker run -d --name exploit-container -v /var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock malicious-image:latest

In this hypothetical scenario, an attacker is deploying a malicious Docker container (`malicious-image:latest`) on the target system. The attacker uses Docker’s `-v` option to bind-mount the host’s Docker socket into the container, effectively giving the malicious container control over the Docker daemon on the host system. This could potentially allow the attacker to manipulate the host system’s Docker containers, including those running the vulnerable versions of Vasion Print’s products.
