Lexmark Scan To Network (SNF) application <= 3.2.9


Vulnerabilitiy and PoC
=======================
"The Embedded Scan to Network solution is an embedded Java application that
is installed as a flash file on multifunction printers (MFPs) which support
the Lexmark Embedded Solutions Framework (LeSF). It allows users at the
printer to scan their documents to network destinations specified by the
network administrator" [2].

Scan To Network application supports the configuration of network
credentials and if used they will be stored in plaintext and transmited in
every request to the configuration tab. The next request should be made to
get plaintext credentials that could be used later to escalate privileges
in the network or get access to scanned documents:
