A popular small to midrange Xerox business printer contains two now-patched vulnerabilities in its firmware that allow attackers an opportunity to gain full access to an organization's Windows environment. The vulnerabilities affect firmware version 57.69.91 and earlier in Xerox VersaLink C7025 multifunction printers (MFPs). Both flaws enable what are known as pass-back attacks, a class of attacks that essentially allow a bad actor to capture user credentials by manipulating the MFPs' configuration. The two vulnerabilities that Rapid7 discovered in the printer, and which Xerox has since fixed, are CVE-2024-12510 (CVSS score: 6.7), an LDAP pass-back vulnerability; and CVE-2024-12511 (CVSS score: 7.6) an SMB/FTP pass-back vulnerability.
