Printix Secure Cloud Print Management through 1.3.1106.0 creates a temporary temp.ini file in a directory with insecure permissions, leading to privilege escalation because of a race condition.
Security readout for executives and security teams
CVE-2022-25090 is a local privilege escalation issue in Printix Secure Cloud Print Management through 1.3.1106.0. A low-privileged user or malware already on a machine may be able to gain higher privileges through an insecure temporary file race condition. Exposure is limited to endpoints running Printix Secure Cloud Print Management or Printix Client through version 1.3.1106.0. The source bundle does not identify affected CPEs, operating systems, deployment defaults, or later fixed versions. Treat as a targeted endpoint hardening issue, not an internet-facing emergency. Prioritize environments where Printix runs on shared workstations, user endpoints, or systems handling sensitive data. Mitigation focus: Inventory endpoints for Printix client versions through 1.3.1106.0.; Check Printix vendor guidance for fixed versions or supported remediation.; Upgrade or remove affected clients where business use permits..
