    descriptionEnrico Zini discovered that HPLIP used a short GPG key ID when downloading keys from the keyserver. An attacker could possibly use this to return a different key with a duplicate short key id and perform a man-in-the-middle attack on printer plugin installations.

Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
