CVE-2023-2508Public exploitNetwork attack vector

Configuration tampering via missing CSRF protections

Published Sep 20, 2023 · Updated Sep 24, 2024

Cross-site request forgery in PaperCut Mobility Print before 1.0.3582 allows remote attackers to change printer-discovery settings. The /dns-config handler accepts a cross-origin form POST without an anti-CSRF token, Origin validation, or SameSite cookie protection. Exploitation requires an authenticated administrator to open a crafted link; the altered discovery host can direct shared setup links to a phishing site.
