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.

I just use snip and sketch to easily get a crop and have it go to my clipboard
