It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, with no action from the victim.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2023-6006 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: PaperCut NG, PaperCut MF. No package-level version data is available, so check the vendor advisory linked from the reference page.\n\nTask:\n1. Search the dependency manifests and lockfiles (for example package.json, package-lock.json, requirements.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, pom.xml, build.gradle, go.mod, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) and any Dockerfiles for the affected packages, including transitive dependencies.\n2. If an affected version is in use, upgrade it to the fixed version for its release line with the project's package manager, so the lockfile is regenerated. Prefer the smallest upgrade that fixes it.\n3. If there is no fix, or the upgrade would break the build, do not guess: explain the risk and the safest workaround instead.\n4. Run the tests and summarise what changed and why.\n5. If nothing in the project is affected, say so and change nothing.\n\nReference: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6006/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6006/index.md)","id":"CVE-2023-6006","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2023-6006/index.md","name":"CVE-2023-6006","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-83xv-2q8m-f6c3"],"analysis":{"component_type":"server_software","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":true,"product_category":"PaperCut print management","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers with write access can escalate privileges to SYSTEM via an unsecured executable load in the pc-pdl-to-image process.","user_interaction":"not_required","vuln_class":"privilege_escalation"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"PaperCut","cpe":[{"product":"papercut_mf","vendor":"papercut"},{"product":"papercut_ng","vendor":"papercut"}],"cvss":{"score":7.8,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H","version":"3.1"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-250","name":"Execution with Unnecessary Privileges"}],"description":"This vulnerability potentially allows local attackers to escalate privileges on affected installations of PaperCut NG. An attacker must have local write access to the C Drive. In addition, Print Archiving must be enabled or the attacker needs to encounter a misconfigured system. This vulnerability does not apply to PaperCut NG installs that have Print Archiving enabled and configured as per the recommended set up procedure.
