Details:
Default configuration for the device does not require user to
define password for configuration changes.
Insecure out-of-the-box configuration combined with CSRF
vulnerability in web management interface allows attacker to
perform unwanted configuration changes through user's browser.
Successful exploitation requires:
1) Out-of-the-box configuration (no management password)
2) Internal user with access to web management interface
3) Knowledge of target printer's DNS name or IP address
4) Ability to lure internal user to a malicious website or
ability to inject malicious HTML/javascript to website
frequented by said internal user.
Simplest management interfaces contains few interesting
features, most significant impact can be achieved with invalid
network configuration. This results in denial-of-service
condition, requiring manual reconfiguration in order to
restore network connectivity.
More advanced management interfaces based on the some software
may contain additional features suitable for exploitation.
It is recommended to check the features of management interface
in order to determine the actual risk for the used product.
Mitigation:
1) Set administrator password
2) Do not browse untrusted sites while logged on to the
management interface
