‼️ Microsoft Paint 0-Click Vulnerability Could Allow Hackers to Take Control of Windows PCs Details: cybersecuritynews.com/window… Microsoft’s Windows Paint vulnerability, CVE-2026-83844, could allow an unauthenticated attacker to execute code over a network without user interaction. The vulnerability stems from an out-of-bounds read, a memory error in which software reads beyond its intended boundary. Microsoft initially listed Paint version 11.2605.91.0 as the fixed release. Administrators reported that Microsoft Store continued offering 11.2605.81.0, even after update checks and Store cache resets. The flaw carries a CVSS score of 8.1, placing it in the High severity category rather than Critical. However, confusion over the corrected Paint version has complicated patch checks for Windows administrators. #CybersecurityNews
