CVE-2023-2533PaperCut — request forgery alters settings from an admin session

PaperCut print management does not tie requests to the session that made them, so a page an administrator visits while signed in can change security settings or, under the right conditions, get code run.

YOUR NEXT MOVE

Apply the PaperCut June 2023 security release now; until then have administrators sign out of the console whenever they are not using it.
