Urgent Alert: Critical FreeFlow Core Flaws—SSRF & RCE Risks!
Body Copy:
Xerox’s FreeFlow Core v8.0.4—a key print orchestration platform used by universities, packaging firms, marketing agencies, and government entities—is hit by two severe vulnerabilities:
-
CVE‑2025‑8355 (XXE → SSRF): Attackers can trick the system into calling internal network URLs.
-
CVE‑2025‑8356 (Path Traversal → RCE, CVSS 9.8): This enables arbitrary code execution on the affected server.
These attacks are relatively trivial to carry out—but the impact could be massive. When print orchestration systems are connected across networks, they become a backdoor into entire infrastructures.horizon3.ai+3cybersecuritydive.com+3securityweek.com+3securitydocs.business.xerox.com+2Daily CyberSecurity+2
What to Do Now:
-
Upgrade to FreeFlow Core v8.0.5 immediately.
-
If patching isn’t feasible, restrict access to the JMF Client service (default port 4004) using firewalls.thehackernews.com+3cybersecuritydive.com+3cybersecuritydive.com+3
