# CVE-2024-47176: cups-browsed binds to `INADDR_ANY:631`, trusting any packet from any source > Attackers can force cups-browsed to send IPP requests to malicious URLs, potentially leading to remote code execution when combined with other flaws. - **Severity:** Medium 5.3 (`CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:L/A:N`) - **Exploited in the wild:** Not known - **Login needed:** Not needed - **Attackable:** Over the internet - **Victim action needed:** Not needed - **Fix available:** Yes - **Published:** 26 Sep 2024 - **Updated:** 4 Nov 2025 - **Also known as:** CLSA-2025-1744716861, DEBIAN-CVE-2024-47176, SUSE-SU-2024:3523-1, UBUNTU-CVE-2024-47176, USN-7042-1, USN-7042-2, USN-7042-3, USN-7043-2, USN-7043-3 ## What is CVE-2024-47176? CVE-2024-47176 is a medium-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in OpenPrinting cups-browsed, published on 26 Sep 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim. ### Official description CUPS is a standards-based, open-source printing system, and `cups-browsed` contains network printing functionality including, but not limited to, auto-discovering print services and shared printers. `cups-browsed` binds to `INADDR_ANY:631`, causing it to trust any packet from any source, and can cause the `Get-Printer-Attributes` IPP request to an attacker controlled URL. When combined with other vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2024-47076, CVE-2024-47175, and CVE-2024-47177, an attacker can execute arbitrary commands remotely on the target machine without authentication when a malicious printer is printed to.

What it is: CVE-2024-47176 is a medium-severity server-side request forgery vulnerability in OpenPrinting cups-browsed, published on 26 Sep 2024. An attacker can exploit it over the internet without logging in, with no action from the victim. Exploitation: It is not confirmed as exploited in the wild, but public exploit code for CVE-2024-47176 exists. Affected product: OpenPrinting cups-browsed. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page. Task: 1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies. 2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it. 3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead. 4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why. 5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.
