There is a new vulnerability in Windows 10 call “Print Nightmare. ” It was revealed in early July 2021 and Microsoft is already rolling out an emergency security update to fix the problem. You should update as soon as you can.
Upgrade, 7/7/21 4:42 pm eastern time:
According to the researchers Matthew Hickey y Will Dorman, the answer that Microsoft is implementing for PrintNightmare is not a complete solution. It only fixes the remote code execution part of the vulnerability. That means exploits can still bypass the patch and do nasty things.. Even so, We urge you to update Windows and be ready for any new updates that come after this.
La respuesta de Microsoft lanzada recientemente #ImprimirPesadilla La vulnerabilidad aborda el vector remoto; a pesar de esto, las variaciones de LPE aún funcionan. Estos funcionan desde el primer momento en Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 2008 y 2012, pero requieren Point & Print configurado para Windows 2016,2019,10 & 11 (?). 🤦♂️ https://t.co/PRO3p99CFo

The vulnerability is a critical flaw in the Windows spooler service. It is equivalent to another vulnerability that was patched in June 2021. The worst thing about PrintNightmare is that its exploit has been shared publicly, making it easy for hackers to use.
Windows runs the Print Spooler service by default, which means it just runs on all Windows PCs from Windows 7. Microsoft has released patches for certain versions of Windows 10, Windows Server 2019, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows Server 2008 , Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1 and Windows 7.
Security updates began rolling out on 6 July 2021 and Microsoft urges everyone to “install these updates immediately”. To check the update on your Windows PC, go to Settings> Update and security> Search for updates.
Vulnerabilities and patches like this are why it's so important to keep your operating system up to date. Make sure to check for and install updates regularly to keep your Windows PC safe.
