Authenticated code execution via crafted XPS print job
Published Apr 11, 2023 · Updated Feb 28, 2025
Out-of-bounds read in Microsoft's PostScript and PCL6 Class Printer Driver allows remote authenticated users to execute code. A crafted XPS file sent to a shared printer reaches the driver, which reads past a buffer boundary; Microsoft has not identified the faulty routine or missing bounds check. The attacker needs ordinary authenticated access to submit the print job, and successful exploitation runs code on the printer host.

Exploitability
Present is not the same as exploitable
Compare your product and version with the public record. A matching version still requires validation against your environment.
Is a vulnerable build present?
Compare these published version ranges with your installed build and any vendor patches.
