      "value": "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\n\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."

      "value": "Una vulnerabilidad de ejecución de proceso insegura existe en el componente pc-printer-updater.exe del cliente PaperCut Print Deploy para Windows. La aplicación, que normalmente opera con privilegios de sistema de alto nivel, intenta realizar una comprobación de validación interna invocando una utilidad de sistema secundaria utilizando una referencia de archivo no cualificada.\n\nDebido a que la aplicación no especifica una ruta absoluta a esta utilidad, se basa en el orden de búsqueda predeterminado del sistema operativo para localizar el ejecutable. Bajo condiciones específicas, un atacante local con la capacidad de modificar directorios dentro de la ruta de búsqueda del sistema podría plantar un binario malicioso que imita la utilidad esperada. Esto podría resultar en la ejecución del código malicioso con privilegios de SYSTEM, lo que llevaría a un compromiso total del host afectado."
