Unauthorized HP Printer

What is the "Unauthorized HP Printer" module?

The "Unauthorized HP Printer" module is a test case designed to detect unauthorized access to HP printers. It focuses on identifying potential misconfigurations or vulnerabilities in the printer's authentication system. This module has a high severity level and was created by an unknown author.

Impact

If unauthorized access is detected, it could potentially allow attackers to gain control over the HP printer. This could lead to unauthorized printing, data theft, or even the installation of malicious firmware.

How the module works?

The "Unauthorized HP Printer" module works by sending an HTTP GET request to the "/SSI/Auth/ip_snmp.htm" path of the target HP printer. It then applies two matching conditions to determine if unauthorized access is possible:

- The response must contain the words "HP" and "<h1>SNMP</h1>". - The response status code must be 200.

If both conditions are met, the module flags the printer as potentially vulnerable to unauthorized access.
