Microsoft Patches More Than 1,400 Security Flaws
Microsoft released patches for over 1,400 security vulnerabilities, surpassing September's record of nearly 1,000 fixes. One zero-day (CVE-2026-96951), a Windows Shell security bypass, is actively exploited. At least 78 flaws are rated critical. Microsoft attributes the high discovery volume to AI. Security teams face strain from testing large patch batches, and experts recommend prioritizing the 26 Microsoft flaws listed in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
