Microsoft issues patch for aCropalypse bug

Microsoft has released an update addressing a screenshot-snipping vulnerability in Windows 10 and 11 that could let malicious actors recover edited parts of screenshots to view sensitive information.

Dubbed the "aCropalypse", Microsoft says the security flaw — tracked as CVE-2023-28303 — relates to both the Snip & Sketch app in Windows 10 and the Snipping Tool in Windows 11.
 
I like it more that they resolved the issue with printers being detected as multimedia devices since it epically borked some printing apps.
