Windows Snipping Tool is vulnerable to Acropalypse too.
An entirely unrelated codebase.
The same exploit script works with minor changes (the pixel format is RGBA not RGB)

Yes, it requires save-crop-save, which is probably not the predominant use-case but I think it's still gonna be frequent.
This also applies to the "Snip & Sketch" tool in Windows 10.
Note that this doesn't apply to the windows 10 snipping tool.

You joke but I have a friend who's a government employee/public servant/idk what the frick the job is called in English, but he told me stories about colleagues who would recieve emails with pdfs attached which they would then print out, walk over to the other side of the building to the scanning department, scan it, then save that file in the archive.
Now, were those some poor elderly people close to retirement age, who got left behind when it comes to computers and technology? Nope. People in their early 30s did this. Mostly foids.
No, I'm not kidding and no he wasn't kidding either. This stuff genuinely happens in Germany

How on earth would you verbally describe that image beyond what's already in the tweet? It's just a visual demonstration of what the tweet already verbally talked about.

I was slightly concerned when I saw this post that it might be saving the entire desktop but it sounds like its only if you crop something inside of snipping tool. Who even does that anyway?

Good point, typically when you snip something you're already cropping out the details that matter
