In one demonstrated attack chain, researchers gained admin access via default credentials (Xerox devices often retain factory defaults), modified LDAP settings to attacker IP, triggered LDAP sync via “Test Connection” feature and used captured credentials to access HR databases containing PII. Multiple vulnerabilities in enterprise-grade Xerox Versalink C7025 multifunction printers (MFPs) enable attackers to intercept authentication credentials from Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) and Server Message Block (SMB) services. Security analysts demonstrated the attack using a Python-based LDAP listener, capturing credentials in real time during printer-initiated authentication requests. The harvested credentials could grant attackers access to enterprise directories containing sensitive user attributes and permissions.
