- CWE-352 - Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF)
Summary
A Cross-Site Request Forgery (CSRF) vulnerability has been identified in
PaperCut NG/MF, which, under specific conditions, could potentially enable
an attacker to alter security settings or execute arbitrary code. This could
be exploited if the target is an admin with a current login session. Exploiting
this would typically involve the possibility of deceiving an admin into clicking
a specially crafted malicious link, potentially leading to unauthorized changes.
