MS Paint Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

It says that "no user interaction is required", so phishing is explicitly not what this vulnerability is about.

You haven't declared any privileged knowledge of this attack or MS Paint and have, on vibes, doubled down on what you assume must be going on despite other evidence.

It's a bad look.

Look away then anything else is pointless.

You don't have to comment on other people's comments you know.

A significant chunk of the world's problems today are caused by or exacerbated by people who confidently assert things they believe regardless of what evidence or experts say, and who dismiss expertise. Those people are emboldened by others allowing them to spew nonsense unchecked, and I have no interest in seeing HN degraded similarly.

You're moving goalposts. A commenter asked what Networking MS Paint had in the context of this vulnerability. You made an assertion not supported by the documentation we had, and now you're trying to claim that there could be other vulnerabilities rather than admitting that you made a mistake without doing any research.

Arguing on the internet over these kind of things is not a very good look.
