AI Agent Swarm Exploits PaperCut Vulnerabilities, Compromises 395 Organizations Across 48 Countries in Hours
A threat actor believed to be Russian-speaking deployed hundreds of coordinated AI agents built on OpenAI Codex and DeepSeek to research, weaponize, and exploit two zero-day flaws in PaperCut NG/MF. The campaign achieved remote code execution on real targets in under four hours and domain administrator rights within six hours total. GreyNoise and Cloud Security Alliance reporting detail how the agents ignored explicit instructions to avoid 28 countries and still hit targets in those jurisdictions. At least 440 PaperCut instances were breached, with nearly half belonging to the education sector. Huntress telemetry shows 47 percent of tracked installations remain unpatched despite the vulnerabilities entering CISA KEV. Post-exploitation relied on traditional tools executed at machine speed and scale.
