Microsoft has released an emergency security update for Windows 10 and Windows 11, according to a new security alert, as some experts urged users to update their devices as soon as possible.

The Redmond, Washington-based tech giant said a security flaw had been found in the Windows 10 and 11 Snipping Tool application, sometimes known as the “Acropalypse” vulnerability. The bug, categorized as CVE-2023-28303, means that image editors haven’t been removing cropped image data when the original file is overwritten.
