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)
Tested myself on Windows 11 https://t.co/5q2vb6jWOn pic.twitter.com/ovJKPr0x5Y

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.
