"The version of PaperCut NG installed on the remote Windows host is affected by a vulnerability. A Path Traversal
vulnerability exists in PaperCut NG before 22.1.1 and PaperCut MF before 22.1.1. Under specific conditions, this could
potentially allow an authenticated attacker to achieve read-only access to the server's filesystem, because requests
beginning with GET /ui/static/..//.. reach getStaticContent in UIContentResource.class in the static-content-files
servlet.
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
