Paperclip, a Node.js server and React UI that orchestrates AI agents, allows full remote code execution before 2026.416.0. An unauthenticated attacker who can reach a default deployment running in authenticated mode needs only the instance address; the chain is six API calls, fully automated, with no credentials or user interaction. Network-accessible default instances are affected.
What to do: Upgrade Paperclip to 2026.416.0, which patches the issue.
