Windows Print Spooler Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability

Evidently this is being used for privilege escalation in ransomware attacks when threat actors have initial access to systems through existing Raspberry Robin, FAKEUPDATES, and/or Qakbot infections. Not necessarily surprising given the Windows print spooler’s popularity with attackers, but the existing intel on Raspberry Robin and Qbot ecosystems is a little light on specific CVE mentions. I was surprised to see the RiskIQ article, especially considering that it’s fairly buried in run-of-the-mill Patch Tuesday roundup drivel in Google search results.
