I'm thankfully out of the loop on Windows these days, but as I remember it Paint did not have any network features? Is that still true? If if is, maybe it is a misfiling of the CVE and it isn't remote?
Or are they chaining a browser auto opening a download in paint, (but browsers shouldn't do that)...

These days paint has copilot...

Why for the love of everything that is good does MS Paint have network trash in it. It's a super simple bitmap editor. Like Notepad, it's simple and just works.
Make a new product and bundle that as an option if you want to drastically change the functionality.

Hate to break it to you..
> Notepad in Windows includes AI features powered by Copilot that help refine and shorten text with the assistance of GPT. By default, these AI features are enabled on managed devices

I mean… what else were the people working on Notepad and Paint to do!?
The order came down to integrate AI, and they wanted to be promoted.
Every single day I’m happier and happier than I use Linux now.

Some distro will default to integrating an AI into bash any day now. It's only a matter of time till less and vim have AI search.

There are certainly many options to choose from: https://gist.github.com/ColinKennedy/8a0eea1b18b6e22bc10daa6...

This is the only network feature paint has iirc, so that's probably it.

It's the only network feature I can think of, but what is it doing opening a port to wait and listen for anything?
