Answer in brief
CVE-2026-82078 records a Critical severity (CVSS 9.1) vulnerability in PaperCut MF/NG: Unsafe Dynamic Class Loading in Database Connector. The current sources mark it as known exploited. The current feed maps PaperCut/PaperCut MF/NG (generic), PaperCut/PaperCut MF/NG (generic). Check affected ranges and fixed versions before updating.
Analysis pending evidence review
HOL Guard separates source facts from reviewed analysis. See the methodology.
CVSS is 9.1. Known-exploitation status makes exposure review time-sensitive. Treat this as a source-backed prioritization signal, not a statement about your environment.

Evidence: source:kev:kev:kev:recordAn unsafe dynamic class loading vulnerability exists in the database connection utilities of PaperCut MF and PaperCut NG. The application instantiates database driver classes based on configurable driver names without validating against an allowlist of approved drivers. If an attacker can manipulate system configuration parameters, this enables the execution of arbitrary Java bytecode residing on the application classpath under the security context of the PaperCut server process.
