In that case it's also accessible to all the untrusted Javascript junk
that regularly runs in the user's browser. Because IPP is built on HTTP,
a Javascript program can tell the browser to send an IPP request. What
has been done to secure those "virtual printer devices" against DNS
rebinding attacks?

Considering the attitude to security I've seen from CUPS before, I
won't be surprised if they just assume that someone else will protect
them from DNS rebinding attacks.
