| Exploitation Conditions | Requires an authenticated session on the Honeywell PD45 Industrial Printer web management interface using the admin or itadmin account, with the Intermec Fingerprint Command Interface reachable to submit programming-language commands to the internal interpreter. Affected firmware is F10.19.010040. Limiting factors: valid administrative (admin/itadmin) credentials are mandatory, so this is not exploitable pre-authentication; the printer's management interface must be network-reachable to the attacker; and devices updated to firmware F10.22.030745 are patched. |
| Impact | The vendor CVSS of 8.8 (AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) reflects a genuine full-compromise RCE, but the network vector and 'Low' privilege rating overstate real-world exposure. Exploitation is gated behind valid administrative credentials - the description explicitly requires 'access to the admin or itadmin account' - which are administrative rather than low-privilege accounts, so PR:L is arguably generous and PR:H is more defensible. There is no EPSS score, no CISA KEV listing, and no known public exploit code, so this is not confirmed actively exploited; it represents an authenticated-admin escape from the application layer to OS command/file execution on the printer. No SSVC decision data was provided. The primary limiting factor is that an attacker must already hold admin/itadmin credentials on the printer's web management interface, making this most relevant as a post-authentication privilege-boundary crossing (app-admin to device OS) or an insider/credential-theft scenario rather than a mass-exploitable pre-auth flaw. Net: a real fix-worthy issue on affected devices, but the low deployment footprint of industrial printers and the admin-credential prerequisite temper the practical priority relative to the raw 8.8 score. |
| Exploit ScenarioDerived | An attacker who has obtained or guessed the printer's admin or itadmin web-management credentials logs into the interface and submits crafted Intermec Fingerprint programming-language commands to the internal command interpreter. Those commands write arbitrary files and execute malicious commands on the printer, yielding full device control. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis. |

Alert meAnalysisAIv1 – Sep 24, 2026
Authenticated remote code execution in the Honeywell PD45 Industrial Printer web management interface lets a user holding an admin or itadmin account write arbitrary files and run commands on the device by feeding Intermec Fingerprint programming-language instructions directly to the printer's internal command interpreter. Only firmware version F10.19.010040 is identified as affected, and exploitation is not possible pre-authentication: valid administrative credentials and network reachability to the management interface are both mandatory, which is why our independent assessment rates the privilege requirement as High (PR:H) rather than the vendor's Low. No public exploit code has been identified at time of analysis and there is no CISA KEV listing; Honeywell addressed the flaw in firmware F10.22.030745.
RemediationAI
Apply the vendor-released patch by upgrading PD45 Industrial Printer firmware to F10.22.030745, which Honeywell confirms contains the fix for this arbitrary-file-write and command-execution flaw; consult the Honeywell product security notice at https://www.honeywell.com/us/en/legal/product-security#security-notices for the official firmware download and update procedure. Until devices can be updated, because exploitation is gated on a valid admin or itadmin session, the highest-value compensating controls are credential hygiene and exposure reduction: rotate the admin and itadmin passwords and remove any shared or default accounts, and place the printer's web management interface behind network segmentation so only trusted administrative hosts can reach it - the trade-off is that operators must be routed through a jump host or management VLAN, and remote administration from general user networks stops working. Where the Intermec Fingerprint Command Interface or the web management service is not operationally required, disable or firewall it; this removes the attack surface entirely but blocks legitimate remote label and configuration management, so it is best applied to printers that are configured locally. Monitor printer logs and filesystem activity for unexpected Fingerprint command submissions or file writes originating from the management interface, since no vendor-released patch exists for the older F10.19.010040 build and any unpatched device remains exploitable by anyone who obtains administrative credentials.

Technical ContextAI · show details
The Honeywell PD45 Industrial Printer exposes a web management interface through which administrators can issue Intermec Fingerprint commands - a native printer programming language used for label formatting, device configuration, and file operations on the printer's internal storage. The vulnerability is classified as CWE-73 (External Control of File Name or Path): the command interface fails to constrain the file paths that Fingerprint language constructs can target, so an authenticated operator can direct writes to arbitrary locations in the printer's filesystem and then invoke the written content through the same interpreter, escalating an arbitrary file write into code execution. The affected CPE cpe:2.3:a:honeywell:pd45_industrial_printer:*:*:*:*:*:*:*:* is expressed as a wildcard for the product, with the vendor advisory naming firmware F10.19.010040 as the vulnerable build and F10.22.030745 as the fixed build. The vendor CVSS vector (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H, 8.8) and our independent assessment (CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:H/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H) agree on network vector, low attack complexity, no user interaction, and full confidentiality, integrity, and availability impact; they diverge only on privileges required, because reaching the Intermec Fingerprint command interface demands a privileged admin or itadmin session rather than any low-privileged user.

DescriptionCVE.org
An Authenticated Remote Code Execution via Arbitrary File Write in the Intermec Fingerprint Command Interface vulnerability in the web management interface in Honeywell PD45 Industrial Printer version F10.19.010040, allows an authenticated user with access to the admin or itadmin account to submit commands written in the Intermec Fingerprint programming language directly to the printer ’s internal command interpreter.
An attacker could potentially exploit this vulnerability, leading to the execution of malicious files and commands. Honeywell also recommends updating to the most recent firmware version, Honeywell PD45 Industrial Printer firmware F10.22.030745, which includes a fix for this vulnerability.
Executive ViewAI
Honeywell PD45 Industrial Printers running firmware F10.19.010040 are affected by a high-severity authenticated remote code execution vulnerability in the web management interface, enabling attackers with administrative credentials to execute arbitrary commands. No public exploit identified at time of analysis, but successful exploitation could disrupt industrial printing operations and provide a foothold for lateral movement. Leadership should prioritize applying the vendor-released patch F10.22.030745 and restricting management interface access to trusted networks.
Apply vendor patch.
