Microsoft fixes label printer issues caused by PrintNightmare update – Computer – News

I can only recommend to trust only 2 sources in such cases. That is the vendor with vulnerabilities, in this case Microsoft, and the researchers who found and reported the vulnerabilities, in this case QiAnXin. In principle, that is also what the CVE ends up.
Unfortunately, it happens all too often that second-hand information is supplemented from some angle or knowledge, which is not always factually correct or complete – and that is very difficult to verify.
Adequate response is also only possible if you take the trouble to read the CV (or CV of the) CV yourself and make an impact analysis.

In my opinion, administrators who shut down their factory today because labels could no longer be printed, have to blame themselves for this. Such (print/production) systems should in any case be sufficiently isolated as a preventive mitigation against all kinds of filth that may be introduced on other parts of the network. For production, your own Corporate LAN is the wild west.
