Hello everyone,

CVE-2021-34527, an RCE vulnerability, dubbed PrintNightmare affects Windows print spooler. The print spooler is a default component in all Windows systems that allows the computer to interact with the printer and order the print jobs in your queue. This vulnerability is due to improper privileged file operations performed by the print spooler. It's a critical vulnerability that allows attackers to remotely execute code with system-level privileges on affected machines. After security researchers accidentally published proof-of-concept (PoC) exploit code, Microsoft has now issued out-of-band security updates to address the flaw. All versions of Windows are vulnerable.
