Synopsis

PaperCut NG installed on remote Windows host is affected by a vulnerability

Description

The version of PaperCut NG installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a vulnerability. A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been identified in PaperCut MF/NG, which, under specific conditions, could potentially enable an attacker to alter security settings or execute arbitrary code. This could be exploited if the target is an admin with a current login session. Exploiting this would typically involve the possibility of deceiving an admin into clicking a specially crafted malicious link, potentially leading to unauthorized changes.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Upgrade to PaperCut NG version 20.1.8, 21.2.12, 22.1.1 or later.
