It can only be exploited from the same machine or local network, and only if a user opens a file or follows a link.\nExploitation: There is no known exploitation of CVE-2026-6645 in the wild and no public exploit code.\n\nAffected product: PaperCut Print Deploy. 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-2026-6645/ (Markdown: https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6645/index.md)","id":"CVE-2026-6645","markdown":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6645/index.md","name":"CVE-2026-6645","record":{"aliases":["GHSA-7rjc-r662-4qm8"],"analysis":{"component_type":"desktop_application","fix_type":"patch","impacts":["code_execution","privilege_escalation"],"network_reachable":"adjacent_or_local","non_default_config":false,"product_category":"Print Deploy Client","requires_auth":"low_privilege","summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by exploiting an insecure search path in the PaperCut Print Deploy Client updater.","user_interaction":"required","vuln_class":"path_traversal"},"analysis_generated_by":"qwen3.8-flash-next","assigner":"PaperCut","cpe":[],"cvss":{"score":7.3,"severity":"high","source":"cna","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:P/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:H/SI:H/SA:H","version":"4.0"},"cwes":[{"id":"CWE-427","name":"Uncontrolled Search Path Element"}],"description":"An insecure process execution vulnerability exists in the pc-printer-updater.exe component of the PaperCut Print Deploy Client for Windows. The application, which typically operates with high-level system privileges, attempts to perform an internal validation check by invoking a secondary system utility using an unqualified file reference.\n\nBecause the application does not specify an absolute path to this utility, it relies on the operating system's default search order to locate the executable. Under specific conditions, a local attacker with the ability to modify directories within the system's search path could plant a malicious binary that mimics the expected utility. This could result in the malicious code being executed with SYSTEM privileges, leading to a full compromise of the affected host.","ecosystems":[],"exploits":{"exploitdb":0,"first_seen":null,"github_poc":0,"max_poc_stars":null,"metasploit":0,"nuclei":0,"refs":[],"tier":"none_known"},"has_fix":null,"headline":"Insecure Search Path Vulnerability in PaperCut Print Deploy Client for Windows","id":"CVE-2026-6645","indexable":true,"kev":null,"kind":"cve","links":{"ecosystem":null,"product":null,"products":[],"type":"path_traversal","year":"2026"},"n_packages":0,"n_references":1,"next":{"headline":"The7 \u003c= 14.3.2 - Authenticated (Contributor+) Stored Cross-Site Scripting via Shortcode 'link' Parameter","id":"CVE-2026-6646"},"packages":[],"prev":{"headline":"A command injection vulnerability was found in the PPTP VPN Clients on the ADM","id":"CVE-2026-6644"},"products":["Print Deploy"],"published":"2026-06-22","related":[],"sources":[{"class":"attribution","licence":"CVE Terms of Use (MITRE)","name":"CVE List","prefix":"CVE"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"CWE Terms of Use","name":"CWE (MITRE)"},{"class":"attribution","licence":"FIRST CVSS licence","name":"CVSS (FIRST)"}],"ssvc":{"automatable":"no","exploitation":"none","technical_impact":"total"},"state":"PUBLISHED","updated":"2026-06-23","vendors":["PaperCut"]},"summary":"Local attackers can execute arbitrary code with SYSTEM privileges by exploiting an insecure search path in the PaperCut Print Deploy Client updater.","url":"https://insights.sbomify.com/CVE-2026-6645/"}
