An arbitrary file deletion vulnerability exists in PaperCut NG/MF that only affects Windows servers with Web Print enabled. This vulnerability requires local login/console access to the PaperCut NG/MF server (eg: member of a domain admin group).

Existe una vulnerabilidad de eliminación arbitraria de archivos en PaperCut NG/MF que solo afecta a los servidores Windows con Web Print habilitado. Esta vulnerabilidad requiere acceso a la consola o inicio de sesión local al servidor PaperCut NG/MF (por ejemplo, miembro de un grupo de administración de dominio).
