Remote code execution via SE menu input validation
Published Feb 28, 2024 · Updated Aug 23, 2024
Improper input validation in the SE menu of affected Lexmark printer firmware allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code. Lexmark identifies an unspecified SE-menu routine but does not disclose the input, failed validation, or exact code path; ZDI attributes the tested CX331adwe path to missing authentication before web-interface functionality. Lexmark's assessment requires high privileges and restricted diagnostic-menu access, while ZDI reports adjacent unauthenticated reachability and root-context execution on its tested model.

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.
