Vulnerability from github – Published: 2024-09-26 03:30 – Updated: 2025-05-13 03:31

Details

Important: In most installations, this risk is mitigated by the default Windows Server configuration, which restricts local login access to Administrators only. However, this vulnerability could pose a risk to customers who allow non-administrative users to log into the local console of the Windows environment hosting the PaperCut NG/MF application server.

Note:

This CVE has been split from CVE-2024-3037.
