Windows 11 Snipping Tool Bugs Fixed by Microsoft

Microsoft has released an updated version of the Windows 11 Snipping Tool that fixes the 'Acropalypse' privacy flaw, which allows the partial restoration of cropped images. The flaw was also found in the Windows 10 Snipping Tool, but no update is available yet. The vulnerability was first disclosed for Google Pixel devices and was fixed as part of the March security updates. The bug is caused by different reasons in Windows Snipping Tool and Google Pixel's Markup Tool, but the end result is the same: cropped-out data is not removed from the file when saving changes to the original file.
