PaperCut provides multi-platform print management software. PaperCut NG manages printing. PaperCut MF manages printing in addition to scanning, copying, and faxing. After installing and configuring PaperCut MF/NG for the first time, users are taken to a SetupCompleted page. However, this page contains improper access controls that enable an attacker to exploit an authentication bypass vulnerability in PaperCut MF/NG. The attacker sends a malicious HTTP request with a query for the SetupCompleted page. The PaperCut server allows the attacker to log into a Dashboard from the SetupCompleted page and sends the attacker an HTTP response with a 200 status code. After bypassing authentication, the attacker can manipulate built-in PaperCut scripting functionality to run malicious JavaScript code on the print management server.
