HP Printers Running JetDirect Disclose Administrative Passwords to Remote Users

Date:  Jul 27 2002
Impact:  Disclosure of authentication information, User access via network
Exploit Included:  Yes  
Advisory:  Phenoelit Group
Description:  An authentication information disclosure vulnerabiltiy was reported in HP's network-enabled printers. A remote user can determine the administrative access password.

It is reported that a remote user can use an SNMP READ request to obtain the HTTP and TELNET administrative access password on printers running JetDirect. The password is returned in HEX format when a remote user requests the following variable:

.iso.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.4.2.1.3.9.1.1.0

The printer will reportedly return a HEX string where the numbers after the second byte represent the password in ASCII.

A demonstration exploit is provided:

linux# snmpget <printer_ip> public .iso.3.6.1.4.1.11.2.3.9.4.2.1.3.9.1.1.0

The vendor has reportedly been notified.
