Patch Tuesday, June 2024 “Recall” Edition

Summary: Microsoft released updates fixing more than 50 security vulnerabilities in Windows and related software in its June 2024 Patch Tuesday, and said its new Recall feature on Copilot+ PCs would no longer be enabled by default after criticism that it constantly screenshots user activity. Only one patch, CVE-2024-30080, earned a critical rating: a Microsoft Message Queuing flaw with a CVSS score of 9.8 that allows attackers to execute code of their choosing, and Microsoft says exploitation is likely.

Bottom line: A 9.8-rated MSMQ flaw that Microsoft itself says is likely to be exploited sits on a few thousand potentially internet-facing servers, and the same release cycle shipped a screenshot feature that former Microsoft threat analyst Kevin Beaumont showed any non-administrator user could export from a local SQLite database.
