PaperCut’s a Mess. Fix It. NOW.

Oh joy. Another goddamn vulnerability. Apparently, some print management software called PaperCut – because who *doesn’t* need more complexity in their life? – has a Remote Code Execution (RCE) flaw that’s actively being exploited. Yes, you read that right: exploited. Meaning someone is already poking holes in your network through this garbage.

The CISA (those clowns) have flagged it as critical, which basically means “you’re probably screwed if you don’t update.” It affects PaperCut MF and PaperCut NG/NGX. Specifically versions before 22.0.7 and 21.0.6 respectively. Don’t bother asking what the vulnerability *is* exactly; just install the damn patch. Seriously, do it. Before I have to remotely access your systems and do it for you (and trust me, you don’t want that).

They’re saying attackers can run arbitrary code on affected servers. Arbitrary code! That means they could steal data, install ransomware, or just generally make your life a living hell. And because this is being actively exploited? You’re already behind the eight ball if you haven’t patched.

So stop wasting time reading this and go patch PaperCut. I swear, some companies just *invite* these problems. It’s infuriating.

Look, I once had to deal with a network where the IT guy thought leaving default passwords on *everything* was “good enough security.” Good enough for what? A toddler to compromise it? This PaperCut thing feels like that level of incompetence. Get your act together people!
