Hackers Are Probing PaperCut Servers, and 47% Still Have No Patch
PaperCut pre-auth RCE CVE-2026-81578 actively exploited; 47% of tracked installs unpatched and exposed to remote code execution.
Huntress confirmed active exploitation of a pre-authentication RCE flaw in PaperCut (CVE-2026-81578), chainable with CVE-2026-82078 to achieve SYSTEM-level code execution via PaperCut's Application Server. Observed attacks focused on short reconnaissance (whoami, ver, tasklist) with no persistence, but a malicious Java class dropping into the installation directory leaves the jdbc:derby:memory:pwn breadcrumb. Roughly 47% of ~2,500 tracked installations run version 23 or earlier with no patch yet available.
