Exposing your network with HP OfficeJet Printers
A malicious fax sent to an vulnerable all-in-one inkjet printer can give hackers control of the printer and act as a springboard into your network environment.
HP’s implementation of a widely used fax protocol is used in all its OfficeJet all-in-one inkjet printers. HP Inc. has released patches for both of these vulnerabilities (CVE-2018-5925 and CVE-2018-5924).
Robert Brown, Director of Services at Verismic said, “These vulnerabilities have a CVSS score 9.8 out of a maximum of 10 making these your highest priority this month.”
