Exploit: PrintNightmare

Here we go again, a new PoC is in the wild and it’s attacking your print spooler!!

The lastest update from Microsoft does not patch this and even Windows 7 to Windows 2019 is vulnerable.

Mitigation:

Stop the spooler on all devices not needing it, especially DC’s!

Restrict access to print servers with firewall rules.

Run theese commands in your RMM or logon scripts.

Command prompt: net stop spooler && sc config spooler start=disabled
PowerShell prompt: Stop-Service -Name Spooler -Force Set-Service -Name Spooler -StartupType Disabled
