A Python scanner released by Marcus Hutchins (MalwareTech) helps administrators detect systems vulnerable to CVE-2024-47176 — a CUPS‑browsed flaw that can enable remote code execution in constrained scenarios and enable up to 600x DDoS amplification — by sending UDP broadcast probes to port 631 and logging HTTP callbacks from affected hosts; operators are advised to scan, patch, or reconfigure exposed services.
