"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1205 advisory.

    A flaw was found in CUPS, a widely used printing service on Linux and UNIX-like systems. The issue arises
    when authentication is configured to use a method other than Basic, but the attacker sends an HTTP request
    with a Basic authentication header. Due to improper validation in the cupsdAuthorize() function, the
    password is not checked. This vulnerability allows attackers to bypass authentication entirely, resulting
    in unauthorized access to administrative functions and system configuration. (CVE-2025-58060)

    OpenPrinting CUPS is an open source printing system for Linux and other Unix-like operating systems. In
    versions 2.4.12 and earlier, an unsafe deserialization and validation of printer attributes causes null
    dereference in the libcups library. This is a remote DoS vulnerability available in local subnet in
    default configurations. It can cause the cups & cups-browsed to crash, on all the machines in local
    network who are listening for printers (so by default for all regular linux machines). On systems where
    the vulnerability CVE-2024-47176 (cups-filters 1.x/cups-browsed 2.x vulnerability) was not fixed, and the
    firewall on the machine does not reject incoming communication to IPP port, and the machine is set to be
    available to public internet, attack vector Network is possible. The current versions of CUPS and cups-
    browsed projects have the attack vector Adjacent in their default configurations. Version 2.4.13
    contains a patch for CVE-2025-58364. (CVE-2025-58364)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
