CVE-2019-14305

Several Ricoh printers have multiple buffer overflows parsing HTTP parameter settings for Wi-Fi, mDNS, POP3, SMTP, and notification alerts, which allow an attacker to cause a denial of service or code execution via crafted requests to the web server. Affected firmware versions depend on the printer models. One affected configuration is cpe:2.3:o:ricoh:sp_c250dn_firmware:-:*:*:*:*:*:*:* up to (including) 1.06 running on cpe:2.3:o:ricoh:sp_c250dn:-:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, cpe:2.3:o:ricoh:sp_c252dn:-:*:*:*:*:*:*:*. Another affected configuration is cpe:2.3:o:ricoh:sp_c250sf_firmware:-:*:*:*:*:*:*:* up to (including) 1.12 running on cpe:2.3:o:ricoh:sp_c250sf:-:*:*:*:*:*:*:*, cpe:2.3:o:ricoh:sp_c252sf:-:*:*:*:*:*:*:*.

Base score Version Severity Vector Exploitability Impact Score source
8.8 3.0 HIGH
CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H Click to expand
Attack vector (AV:N)
Could be attacked over the internet or any normal routed network—not just someone sitting at the machine.
Attack complexity (AC:L)
Once they can reach the bug, pulling it off is straightforward—no weird race conditions or rare setup.
Privileges required (PR:L)
A normal user session is enough; they don’t have to be admin.
User interaction (UI:N)
Nobody has to click “OK” or open a trap file; it can work without a victim helping.
Scope (S:U)
Damage stays in the same “trust bubble” as the broken component—no big spill into unrelated systems.
Confidentiality (C:H)
Serious risk that confidential data gets exposed in a big way.
Integrity (I:H)
They could widely tamper with or forge data—trust in the data is badly hurt.
Availability (A:H)
Could take the service down hard or make it unusable for people who depend on it.
