Recently patched PaperCut zero-days used in data theft attacks
Threat actors are exploiting two recently patched PaperCut zero-days for data theft—organisations that delayed updates should assume compromise and hunt for exfiltration indicators.
Summary written by editorial AI · Source link below
Two security vulnerabilities in the PaperCut NG and MF print management software, patched last week after being exploited as zero-days, are now being abused in data theft attacks. [...]
Editorial Analysis
Print-management servers often hold or transit sensitive documents; active zero-day exploitation makes them a high-priority patch target across sectors.
Immediately patch PaperCut NG/MF and conduct a forensic review of print-server activity during the exposure window.
Attackers are stealing data through vulnerabilities in widely used print-management software—confirm patching and check for prior compromise.
