CVE-2021-42913Public exploitNetwork attack vector

SMB credential disclosure via unauthenticated HTML source

Published Dec 20, 2021 · Updated Aug 4, 2024

Credential disclosure in Samsung SCX-6x55X SyncThru Web Service allows remote attackers to read SMB usernames and cleartext passwords. The unauthenticated web interface embeds the configured SMB user list and passwords directly in HTML source returned to a requester. Network access to the printer is sufficient; the documented consequence is disclosure of SMB credentials, not alteration or service interruption.
