CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:L/A:NCVSS and EPSS are reproduced from their sources (NVD, FIRST EPSS). Risk Priority is our own derived reading, not an NVD score.
Summary
CVE-2024-1884 is a medium-severity SSRF (CWE-918) vulnerability in Papercut Papercut Mf. Its CVSS base score is 6.5 (Medium).
Operationally, exploitation aligns with the MITRE ATT&CK technique LSASS Memory (T1003.001); ranked in the top 1% of CVEs by exploit likelihood; it is not currently listed in the CISA KEV catalog.
The strongest mitigations our analysis identified map to AC-4 (Information Flow Enforcement) and SI-10 (Information Input Validation) — see the control section below for these in your framework.
Deeper analysis AI-assisted summary
Synthesised by an AI model from the NVD description and linked references — a reading aid, not an authoritative source.
This CVE describes a server-side request forgery (SSRF) flaw, tracked as CWE-918, in the PaperCut NG/MF server-side module. The vulnerability permits an unauthenticated remote attacker to cause the application to issue HTTP requests to arbitrary attacker-chosen domains, carrying a CVSS 3.1 score of 6.5.
An attacker with network access can exploit the issue without credentials or user interaction, achieving limited disclosure of internal resources and limited ability to interact with internal or external systems reachable by the PaperCut server.
PaperCut’s March 2024 security bulletin provides official guidance and remediation steps for affected customers.
EPSS for the CVE rose from a low baseline to a peak of 0.4038 on 2025-12-11 before receding, indicating a clear post-disclosure increase in exploitation interest.

Mitigating Controls (NIST 800-53 r5) AI
Information flow enforcement can restrict which destinations the server is allowed to contact on behalf of users.
Input validation directly stops untrusted URLs from being accepted and fetched without destination checks.
Boundary protection limits the network reach of server-initiated requests even if SSRF occurs.

Runtime monitoring of web applications and services can detect anomalous outbound requests indicative of SSRF.
Vulnerability identification processes can discover and record SSRF flaws in web applications.
Network segmentation and egress controls can limit the damage from successful SSRF requests.
Secure development practices directly include input validation and destination allow-listing that prevent SSRF.
