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.

CVE-2026-81578 + CVE-2026-82078 | PaperCut NG/MF Authentication Bypass and Unsafe Dynamic Class Loading Vulnerabilities
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.

U.S. CISA adds PaperCut NG/MF flaws to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog
CISA added two actively exploited PaperCut NG/MF pre-auth flaws to the KEV catalog; federal agencies must patch by September 14.
CISA added CVE-2026-81578 (CVSS 8.8, missing authentication for critical function) and CVE-2026-82078 (CVSS 9.4, unsafe reflection) in PaperCut NG/MF to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Huntress confirmed active pre-authentication RCE exploitation in two customer environments and reproduced the full chain against a clean PaperCut NG 25.0.11 server, chaining the auth bypass into unsafe Java class loading for SYSTEM-level execution. About 47% of roughly 2,500 tracked PaperCut installs still run version 23 or earlier with no patch available, and observed attacker activity was limited to system discovery commands.

Clop-Linked Windchill Web Shell Decrypts Credentials and Maps Engineering Data
ReliaQuest details a bespoke JSP web shell that Clop deploys on hacked PTC Windchill and FlexPLM servers after exploiting CVE-2026-12569.
ReliaQuest analyzed a custom Java web shell planted on vulnerable PTC Windchill and FlexPLM servers following exploitation of CVE-2026-12569 (CVSS 9.3). The implant decrypts Windchill keystore credentials including the LDAP manager password, enumerates the file vault for engineering data, and loads attacker-supplied Java classes in memory for post-exploitation. Commands let operators read and delete files, exfiltrate results, and deliver follow-on payloads such as ransomware. Ransom-ISAC, eCrime.ch and Defused previously attributed the campaign to the Clop data-theft extortion group.
