Rapid7 conducted a zero-day research project into multifunction printers (MFP) from Brother Industries, Ltd.
This research resulted in the discovery of 8 new vulnerabilities. Some or all of these vulnerabilities have been identified as affecting 689 models across Brother’s range of printer, scanner, and label maker devices. Additionally, 46 printer models from FUJIFILM Business Innovation, 5 printer models from Ricoh, and 2 printer models from Toshiba Tec Corporation are affected by some or all of these vulnerabilities. In total, 742 models across 4 vendors are affected. Rapid7, in conjunction with JPCERT/CC, has worked with Brother over the last thirteen months to coordinate the disclosure of these vulnerabilities. The most serious of the findings is the authentication bypass CVE-2024-51978.
