# Security digest: August 31, 2026

2 known exploited (cisa kev) additions.

## Take stock

- Do you run any of these? PaperCut NG/MF. They are being exploited in the wild (CISA KEV). Patch or mitigate if you do; CISA’s federal deadline is 2026-09-14.
- None of it touches your stack? Then there is nothing to do today. That is a result, not a failure to read carefully.

## Known exploited (CISA KEV)

- [CVE-2026-82078](https://erroneo.us/security/cve/CVE-2026-82078/index.md) PaperCut NG/MF: PaperCut NG/MF Unsafe Reflection Vulnerability (CISA due 2026-09-14)
- [CVE-2026-81578](https://erroneo.us/security/cve/CVE-2026-81578/index.md) PaperCut NG/MF: PaperCut NG/MF Missing Authentication for Critical Function Vulnerability (CISA due 2026-09-14)
