I really wasn't expecting Microsoft Paint to turn up in the cybersecurity headlines, but here we are. MS disclosed and patched a security vulnerability within the software on October 13, but it's worth checking your own Paint version to see if you've received the update.
Some users don't have automatic Microsoft Store updates enabled, especially those on work machines. As Paint is updated via the store, you may need to manually update to version 11.2609.401.0 to keep your machine secure.
