# cups\_browsed\_internal\_external

**Explanation**

This event is triggered by Netography's Fusion Portal when it detects traffic on UDP port 631 exiting your network. UDP port 631 is usually associated with the CUPS-Browsed service and is used to automatically add available local printers. While it may be odd by itself, this traffic may also indicate a compromise and that an attacker is attempting to trigger CVE-2024-47176 on other hosts from your network.

**What to Look For**

Investigate the source of these requests for malware infection or unauthorized software, and consider blocking UDP port 631 at the firewall.
