HP LaserJet Network Username and Information Enumeration
------------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY

HP LaserJet printers has an extensive administrative user interface
provided over SNMP. SNMP is normally used for monitoring applications and
servers performance but can also be used to perform remote configurations.

HP LaserJet stores network information from document print requests, this
information accessible via SNMP, thus allowing malicious attacker to
map/enumerate network.

DETAILS

Vulnerable Systems:
* HP LaserJet 2430, (Possibly other HP printers that operate using the
Jetdirect controls.)

HP LaserJet printers store information regarding recently printed
documents. Information such as document name, title, number of pages,
document size, user who has printed the document and the machine name
where the print job was initiated.

This document information "cache" is flushed when the document is older
then one hour but in mean time, the information can be obtained by anyone
with access to the network and who has information regarding the "public"
SNMP community configured at the printer.

In reality, an intruder could use this information to obtain possible
usernames that later could be used in a login brute force attack against
servers.

Vendor Status:
Hewlet Packard was informed about this issue on September 7, 2005.
Vendor response: "This information is kept by the printer in the printer
specific MIB. Jetdirect controls the authentication and subsequent
authorization to all the MIBs. This authentication/authorization can be
controlled via SNMP settings."
HP tracking number: SSRT051032

Workaround:
There is no direct way to prevent the printer from exposing information
about recently printed documents except for disabling SNMP.
Access to administrative features of the LaserJet, including SNMP, can be
controlled and limited in various ways depending on the security
requirements of the customer's environment. For more information please
refer to "HP Jetdirect Embedded Print Server Administrator's Guide",
chapter 7 - Security Features.
