> CERT-FR advisory details PaperCut NG/MF and Hive Embedded flaws allowing RCE, data exposure, and XSS; patches available.

CERT-FR published an advisory covering multiple vulnerabilities in PaperCut print management software, affecting PaperCut Hive Embedded Application versions prior to 2.3.0 (Ricoh), and PaperCut NG/MF versions 25.x before 25.0.13 and 26.x before 26.0.5. The vulnerabilities allow an attacker to achieve remote arbitrary code execution, breach data confidentiality, bypass security policies, and conduct indirect remote code injection (XSS).

Four CVEs are referenced (CVE-2026-11744, CVE-2026-14780, CVE-2026-82077, CVE-2026-87739) tied to the vendor's September 2026 security bulletin, though the advisory does not provide per-CVE technical descriptions. No evidence of active exploitation in the wild is mentioned in the bulletin. Defenders running affected PaperCut deployments, including Ricoh-embedded Hive instances, should apply vendor patches referenced in the official PaperCut security bulletin without delay, given PaperCut's history of being targeted by ransomware actors following prior vulnerability disclosures.

Organizations should prioritize patching print management infrastructure, verify version levels against the fixed releases listed, and monitor for anomalous authentication or code execution activity on PaperCut servers as a precaution.
