HP Recommended
Product: HP LaserJet Enterprise Flow MFP M528c

We have monthly vulnerability scans on our network and each month we’ll see a different, random HP printer come up with the vulnerability “Default SNMP Credentials”.  We will fix these each month either by setting a unique SNMP string or disabling it altogether.  We’ll rescan the device and verify the vulnerability is cleared.

 

Then the next month another random HP printer or two will show up in the new scan with Default SNMP credentials.  What keeps randomly turning SNMP back on with the default string?  We keep turning them off but then each month another random one is back on.  It’s a never ending game of wack-a-mole.  How can we prevent SNMP from changing its setting on its own?

 

This happens on all models, from little HP 400’s up to the big MFP’s like Enterprise Flow M631.
