Multiple Vulnerabilities in PaperCut Products Could Allow for Remote Code Execution

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PaperCut products, the most severe of which could allow for remote code execution. PaperCut products are software tools used to track, control, secure, and manage printing, copying, and scanning across office and school printer networks. Successful exploitation of the most severe of these vulnerabilities could allow for remote code execution in the context of the affected service account. Depending on the privileges associated with the service account, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Services whose accounts are configured to have less rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.

PaperCut reports that these vulnerabilities have been exploited in the wild.

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in PaperCut products, the most severe of which could allow for remote code execution. Details of these vulnerabilities are as follows:

Tactic:Initial Access(TA0001)

Technique:Exploit Public-Facing Application(T1190)

NOTE: Affected devices that are not exposed to the public Internet have reduced risk of exploitation of these vulnerabilities.
