Two chained PaperCut NG/MF flaws, CVE-2026-81578 and CVE-2026-82078, enable pre-auth RCE, with active exploitation confirmed in customer environments.
PaperCut NG/MF is affected by CVE-2026-81578, an improper access control flaw (CVSS 4.0 8.8) allowing unauthenticated configuration changes, and CVE-2026-82078, an unsafe dynamic class loading flaw (CVSS 4.0 9.4) enabling arbitrary Java bytecode execution. Chained, they yield pre-authentication remote code execution on the PaperCut Application Server. PaperCut confirmed active exploitation and customer incidents, and Huntress observed exploitation starting August 26, 2026. Emergency Patch Release 2 is available for NG/MF v24-v26, with IOCs including suspicious pc-app.exe child processes, truncated server.log files, and AnyDesk installs.
