CVE-2025-34197

high

Description

Vasion Print (formerly PrinterLogic) Virtual Appliance Host versions prior to 22.0.951, Application prior to 20.0.2368 (VA and SaaS deployments) contain an undocumented local user account named ubuntu with a preset password and a sudoers entry granting that account passwordless root privileges (ubuntu ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL). Anyone who knows the hardcoded password can obtain root privileges via local console or equivalent administrative access, enabling local privilege escalation. NOTE: The patch for this vulnerability is reported to be incomplete: /etc/shadow was remediated but /etc/sudoers remains vulnerable.
