CVE-2026-11744 — PaperCut Hive Embedded App for Ricoh: Javascript injection

An input validation vulnerability exists in the PaperCut Hive embedded application for Ricoh devices. The application fails to properly sanitize input received during the NFC card reading process before passing it to the application's web view interface. A local attacker with physical access to the device and a specially crafted NFC card or emulator could exploit this flaw to execute arbitrary code within the context of the application's user interface. This could result in unauthorized actions or information disclosure.

Who exploits it and how urgent it is

A 0–100 score combining confirmed exploitation, ransomware and APT use, public exploits, EPSS and severity.

No exploitation signal in the sources consulted so far.
How the score was calculated
  • No scoring signals.

The score orders the patch queue; it does not replace your asset context (internet exposure, criticality, compensating controls).

Triage

Is it exploited, how likely is exploitation, what does it touch, and how severe do the sources call it.

Remediation

Fixes and mitigations documented by the sources — linked to the original advisory.

No fix documented by the sources we poll. That does not mean none exists: check the vendor advisory.

First 24 hours

Ordered from the record’s own fields — exposure first, because you cannot patch what you have not found. A rule-generated starting point.

  1. Identify exposed assets running the affected vendor/product/version combinations (PaperCut PaperCut Hive).
  2. No fix documented in the sources: reduce exposure and monitor the vendor advisory.
  3. Search available logs for exploit probes matching the vulnerability class (cross-site scripting), errors and authentication anomalies.
