  • •Two critical vulnerabilities in PAPPL identified by Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative.
  • •ZDI-CAN-32306 allows local privilege escalation; ZDI-CAN-32307 enables remote code execution.
  • •Both vulnerabilities have a 120-day remediation timeline before public advisories are issued.

Trend Micro's Zero Day Initiative has identified two significant vulnerabilities in the PAPPL printer software. The first, ZDI-CAN-32306, is a stack-based buffer overflow that allows local privilege escalation with a CVSS score of 7.8. The second, ZDI-CAN-32307, is a heap-based buffer overflow that enables remote code execution, rated at a CVSS score of 9.8. Both vulnerabilities affect the same version of PAPPL tested on Ubuntu 25.10. The vulnerabilities were discovered by an anonymous researcher and reported to the vendor, with a 120-day remediation timeline expected. If no patch is released within this period, Trend Micro will issue a limited public advisory with mitigations. The vulnerabilities pose a serious risk to users of PAPPL, particularly in environments where the software is deployed.
