Summary

An issue was discovered in the PaperCut Hive Ricoh embedded application: when "Deep Logging" (diagnostic) mode is enabled, the application records administrative credentials in plain text within log files. An attacker with administrative access to the PaperCut Hive management portal could remotely enable deep logging and retrieve sensitive device passwords from logs after an authorized user authenticates at the device. This exposure allows lateral movement or unauthorized configuration of the physical print hardware.

Risk Assessment

Administrative credentials for printing devices may leak, enabling takeover of physical hardware and lateral movement. However, administrative portal access is required.

Recommendation

Avoid enabling Deep Logging in production, protect and regularly purge log files, and restrict administrative access to the PaperCut Hive portal.
