The PrintNightmare vulnerability is part of the Windows Print Spooler and allows remote code execution. This enables hackers to gain system privileges on a device to install programs, view, change, and delete data and create accounts with full user rights. Some mediation was provided with Microsoft patches released on June 8--but not everything has been fixed. Watch for future updates.
