Printers Printing Garbage During Scanning

[weldingwit]

Just wondering if anyone has had the same issue that I get every time I do an Internal pentest.
I have done a lot of Internal pentests and use nuclei - however I am constantly getting emails from the client reporting that their printers have gone crazy and keep printing out garbage. So just wondering if this is a known problem and if there is a specific template that is causing this. I do not want to exclude printers or their ports during scanning as they can sometimes be a gold mine.

Thanks

@weldingwit This is most likely related to the CUPS - RCE vulnerability template: CVE-2024-47176. We haven’t encountered this issue before. Could you please try running this template to confirm if that’s the case?
