PaperCut Software warned users on Friday that a zero-day vulnerability in its NG and MF print management products is being actively exploited in the wild.[^1]

The alert covers all versions of both PaperCut NG and PaperCut MF, meaning no installed version is confirmed safe from the active exploitation the company described.[^2] The warning came directly from PaperCut to its customers, not from a third-party researcher after the fact - which is the read here: the company knows enough about in-the-wild attacks to go public on a Friday.

What the record does not yet carry: a patch release date, a CVE identifier, or any detail on the scale or targets of the exploitation. Those are the numbers to wait for.
