The company said,

Moreover, according to a previous Bleepingcomputer report, the company took a few days to recognize the bug. Microsoft had notified users about the dangerous nature of the vulnerability that was detected in the print spooler.

The report also stated that the bug permitted the cybercriminals to install malicious programs, get access to admin rights, modify data and make new accounts utilizing the admin rights.

The Cybersecurity and infrastructure agency had promoted administrators to deactivate the Windows Print spooler service in systems and Domain Controllers that do not print.

The agency further added,

“Due to the possibility for exposure, domain controllers and Active Directory admin systems need to have the Print spooler service disabled. The recommended way to do this is using a Group Policy Object.”

For those who don’t know, the print spooler is a program that is accessible in the Windows operating system. It saves print jobs in the memory of the computer before the printer eventually prints it
