Under specific conditions, a local attacker with the ability to modify directories within the system&#8217;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.<\/p>\n<p>  Severity: 7.3 | HIGH<\/p>\n<p>  Visit the link for more details, such as CVSS details, affected products, timeline, and more&#8230;\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>CVE ID :CVE-2026-6645 Published : June 22, 2026, 3:24 a.m. | 2\u00a0hours, 19\u00a0minutes ago Description :An insecure process execution vulnerability exists in the pc-printer-updater.exe component of the PaperCut Print Deploy Client for Windows.
