The default configuration of the PJL Access value in the File System External Access settings on HP LaserJet MFP printers, Color LaserJet MFP printers, and LaserJet 4100, 4200, 4300, 5100, 8150, and 9000 printers enables PJL commands that use the device's filesystem, which allows remote attackers to read arbitrary files via a command inside a print job, as demonstrated by a directory traversal attack.

The HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) on HP LaserJet Printers, Edgeline Printers, and Digital Senders has no management password by default, which makes it easier for remote attackers to obtain access.

Multiple cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerabilities in the HP Embedded Web Server (EWS) on HP LaserJet Printers, Edgeline Printers, and Digital Senders allow remote attackers to hijack the intranet connectivity of arbitrary users for requests that (1) print documents via unknown vectors, (2) modify the network configuration via a NetIPChange request to hp/device/config_result_YesNo.html/config, or (3) change the password via the Password and ConfirmPassword parameters to hp/device/set_config_password.html/config.

ChaiVM EZloader for HP color LaserJet 4500 and 4550 and HP LaserJet 4100 and 8150 does not properly verify JAR signatures for new services, which allows local users to load unauthorized Chai services.
