CVE-2025-34209Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Admin-level code execution via embedded firmware-signing key

Published Sep 29, 2025 · Updated Sep 29, 2025

Hard-coded credentials in Vasion Print Application before 20.0.2014 and Virtual Appliance Host before 22.0.862 allow attackers to execute code. Shipped Docker image layers store a private GPG key in cleartext and its passphrase in image metadata, enabling creation of accepted update packages. Attackers need administrative appliance access to extract the key and upload a crafted package, which the appliance executes with full system impact.
