# Security digest: October 11, 2022

1 editorial brief.

## Take stock

- Check exposure: Windows Print Spooler CVE-2022-38028: GRU's GooseEgg Tool . Owners of Windows hosts with no update since October 2022, especially unsupported Windows 8.1 and Server 2012/2012 R2 machines, and government, NGO, education and transportation organizations in Ukraine, Europe and North America.
- None of it touches your stack? Then there is nothing to do today. That is a result, not a failure to read carefully.
