CWE-352: Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) - CVE-2014-9003

According to MITRE, "Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in Lantronix xPrintServer allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators for requests that modify configuration, as demonstrated by executing arbitrary commands using the 'c' parameter in the rpc action".

CWE-798: Use of Hard-coded Credentials - CVE-2016-4325

An undocumented account with hard-coded passwords allows an unauthenticated attacker root access to the device. According to Lantronix, this issue was addressed in version 5.0.1-65.

Additionally, the device uses hard-coded default credentials and does not require the user to change them before using the device.

CWE-340: Predictability Problems

The device previously automatically binded to the DNS name http://xprintserver.local. An attacker may use this information to launch attacks without knowing the internal IP address of the device. According to Lantronix, this issue was addressed in version 5.0.1-65 by adding the MAC address of the device to the name.

CWE-200: Information Exposure

The xPrintServer connects to a remote cloud storage, hosted at http://ltrxips1.appspot.com and http://findmyxps.com.

These web applications may expose private information to an unauthenticated attacker. The private information may include file/data uploads, network logs, and the internal IP address of the device. According to Lantronix, this issue was addressed on 5/5/2016 (please see the Resolution below).

CWE-306: Missing Authentication for Critical Function

An unauthenticated user may be able to upload, modify, or delete files from the xPrintServer remote cloud storage. According to Lantronix, this issue was addressed on 5/5/2016 (please see the Resolution below).

The CVSS score below is based on the hard-coded credentials.

An unauthenticated remote attacker may be able to learn private information about the device's internal network, access or modify the device's configuration or files, or gain root access to the device.

Apply an update

Lantronix has released firmware version 5.0.1-65 to address these issues. Affected users are encouraged to update as soon as possible.
