Last updated: 08 Mar 2025, 23:25 UTC
This page consolidates all known Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVEs) associated with brother. We track both calendar-based metrics (using fixed periods) and rolling metrics (using gliding windows) to give you a comprehensive view of security trends and risk evolution. Use these insights to assess risk and plan your patching strategy.
For a broader perspective on cybersecurity threats, explore the comprehensive list of CVEs by vendor and product. Stay updated on critical vulnerabilities affecting major software and hardware providers.
Total brother CVEs: 17
Earliest CVE date: 04 Oct 2002, 04:00 UTC
Latest CVE date: 26 Dec 2023, 06:15 UTC
Latest CVE reference: CVE-2023-51654
30-day Count (Rolling): 0
365-day Count (Rolling): 0
Calendar-based Variation
Calendar-based Variation compares a fixed calendar period (e.g., this month versus the same month last year), while Rolling Growth Rate uses a continuous window (e.g., last 30 days versus the previous 30 days) to capture trends independent of calendar boundaries.
Month Variation (Calendar): 0%
Year Variation (Calendar): -100.0%
Month Growth Rate (30-day Rolling): 0.0%
Year Growth Rate (365-day Rolling): -100.0%
Average CVSS: 5.05
Max CVSS: 10.0
Critical CVEs (≥9): 3

| 0.0-3.9 | 4 |
| 4.0-6.9 | 12 |
| 7.0-8.9 | 2 |
| 9.0-10.0 | 3 |
These are the five CVEs with the highest CVSS scores for brother, sorted by severity first and recency.
Improper link resolution before file access ('Link Following') issue exists in iPrint&Scan Desktop for Windows versions 11.0.0 and earlier. A symlink attack by a malicious user may cause a Denial-of-service (DoS) condition on the PC.
Null pointer dereference vulnerability exists in multiple vendors MFPs and printers which implement Debut web server 1.2 or 1.3. Processing a specially crafted request may lead an affected product to a denial-of-service (DoS) condition. As for the affected products/models/versions, see the detailed information provided by each vendor.
Brother iPrint&Scan V6.11.2 and earlier contains an improper access control vulnerability. This vulnerability may be exploited by the other app installed on the victim user's Android device, which may lead to displaying the settings and/or log information of the affected app as a print preview.
Some Brother printers (such as the HL-L8360CDW v1.20) were affected by different information disclosure vulnerabilities that provided sensitive information to an unauthenticated user who visits a specific URL.
Some Brother printers (such as the HL-L8360CDW v1.20) were affected by a stack buffer overflow vulnerability as the web server did not parse the cookie value properly. This would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the device.
Some Brother printers (such as the HL-L8360CDW v1.20) were affected by a heap buffer overflow vulnerability as the IPP service did not parse attribute names properly. This would allow an attacker to execute arbitrary code on the device.
Brother MFC-9970CDW 1.10 devices with Firmware L contain a Frameable response (Clickjacking) vulnerability which could allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive information.
Brother MFC-9970CDW 1.10 firmware L devices contain an information disclosure vulnerability which allows remote attackers to view private IP addresses and other sensitive information.
Brother MFC-9970CDW 1.10 firmware L devices contain an information disclosure vulnerability which allows remote attackers to view sensitive information from referrer logs due to inadequate handling of HTTP referrer headers.
Brother MFC-9970CDW 1.10 firmware L devices contain a security bypass vulnerability which allows physically proximate attackers to gain unauthorized access.
Brother MFC-9970CDW devices with firmware 0D allow cleartext submission of passwords.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability on Brother HL series printers allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the url parameter to etc/loginerror.html.
The Debut embedded http server contains a remotely exploitable denial of service where a single malformed HTTP POST request can cause the server to hang until eventually replying (~300 seconds) with an HTTP 500 error. While the server is hung, print jobs over the network are blocked and the web interface is inaccessible. An attacker can continuously send this malformed request to keep the device inaccessible to legitimate traffic.
Denial of Service vulnerability in Debut embedded httpd 1.20 in Brother DCP-J132W (and probably other DCP models) allows remote attackers to hang the printer (disrupting its network connection) by sending a large amount of HTTP packets.
Cross-site request forgery (CSRF) vulnerability in MFC-J960DWN firmware ver.D and earlier allows remote attackers to hijack the authentication of administrators via unspecified vectors.
On certain Brother devices, authorization is mishandled by including a valid AuthCookie cookie in the HTTP response to a failed login attempt. Affected models are: MFC-J6973CDW MFC-J4420DW MFC-8710DW MFC-J4620DW MFC-L8850CDW MFC-J3720 MFC-J6520DW MFC-L2740DW MFC-J5910DW MFC-J6920DW MFC-L2700DW MFC-9130CW MFC-9330CDW MFC-9340CDW MFC-J5620DW MFC-J6720DW MFC-L8600CDW MFC-L9550CDW MFC-L2720DW DCP-L2540DW DCP-L2520DW HL-3140CW HL-3170CDW HL-3180CDW HL-L8350CDW HL-L2380DW ADS-2500W ADS-1000W ADS-1500W.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in Brother MFC-J4410DW printer with firmware before L allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the url parameter to general/status.html and possibly other pages.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Brother MFC-9970CDW printer with firmware L (1.10) allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) id or (2) val parameter to admin/admin_main.html; (3) id, (4) val, or (5) arbitrary parameter name (QUERY_STRING) to admin/profile_settings_net.html; or (6) kind or (7) arbitrary parameter name (QUERY_STRING) to fax/general_setup.html, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-2507 and CVE-2013-2670.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerability in the Brother MFC-9970CDW printer with firmware G (1.03) and L (1.10) allows remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via an arbitrary parameter name (QUERY_STRING) to admin/admin_main.html, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-2507 and CVE-2013-2671.
Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the Brother MFC-9970CDW printer with firmware G (1.03) allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via the (1) id parameter to admin/log_to_net.html or (2) kind parameter to fax/copy_settings.html, a different vulnerability than CVE-2013-2670 and CVE-2013-2671.
Buffer overflow in administrative web server for Brother NC-3100h printer allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service via a long password.
