Synopsis

PaperCut NG installed on remote Windows host is affected by a multiple vulnerabilities

Description

The version of PaperCut NG installed on the remote Windows host is affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:

- An arbitrary file deletion vulnerability exists in PaperCut NG/MF, specifically affecting Windows servers with Web Print enabled. To exploit this vulnerability, an attacker must first obtain local login access to the Windows Server hosting PaperCut NG/MF and be capable of executing low-privilege code directly on the server. The attacker can leverage this attack by creating a symbolic link, and use this service to delete the file the link is pointing to. (CVE-2024-3037)

- This vulnerability could potentially allow the creation of files in specific locations used by the Web Print service. This vulnerability only applies to PaperCut NG/MF Windows servers with the PaperCut Web Print Server service enabled and uses the image-handler process, which can incorrectly create files that don’t exist when a maliciously formed payload is provided. (CVE-2024-4712)

- CVE-2024-8404 and CVE-2024-8405 have been split to allow the researchers (Trend Micro ZDI) to attribute two instances of the same vulnerability type to different reporters.

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

Solution

Upgrade to PaperCut NG version 23.0.9 or later.
