Microsoft Patches Record 974 Flaws, Including Two Exploited Windows Zero-Days
Microsoft's September Patch Tuesday fixed a record 974 flaws, including two Windows privilege-escalation zero-days actively exploited and added to CISA's KEV catalog.
Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday addressed a record 974 vulnerabilities (999 including 25 non-Microsoft CVEs), with over 110 rated critical; 723 affect Windows and 111 affect Office. Two Windows privilege-escalation zero-days are actively exploited: CVE-2026-85880, an ALPC heap-based buffer overflow, and CVE-2026-81963, an improper link resolution flaw in the Windows Update Stack, both allowing attackers to gain SYSTEM privileges. CISA added both flaws to its KEV catalog, giving federal civilian agencies until September 22, 2026 to apply fixes. Volexity, Proofpoint, MSTIC, and independent researchers were credited with the reports; notable additional fixes include network-reachable RCEs in Exchange, SharePoint, SQL Server, Remote Desktop Services, DNS, and DHCP.

Microsoft breaks Patch Tuesday record with 974-CVE deluge
Microsoft's record 974-CVE Patch Tuesday ships two exploited Windows zero-days, while Adobe's StyleSmuggler zero-day (CVE-2026-75650) gives unauthenticated RCE in Magento.
Microsoft's September Patch Tuesday addresses 974 CVEs, including two zero-days already under exploitation: CVE-2026-85880, a Windows ALPC privilege escalation leading to SYSTEM via sandbox escape, and CVE-2026-81963, a Windows Update Stack privilege escalation. Adobe patched 172 CVEs, including the max-severity StyleSmuggler zero-day CVE-2026-75650 in Magento and Adobe Commerce, which Sansec reports is being exploited since September 4 to inject PHP into templates and install a C2-connected backdoor. CISA added CVE-2026-85880, CVE-2026-81963, and CVE-2026-75650 to its Known Exploited Vulnerabilities Catalog with patch deadlines of September 22 and September 11.

Microsoft Shatters Patch Tuesday Record With 974 CVE Fixes in September 2026
Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes a record 974 CVEs, including two actively exploited Windows zero-days, CVE-2026-85880 and CVE-2026-81963.
Microsoft fixed a record 974 CVEs in its September 2026 Patch Tuesday, surpassing the previous record of 570 in July 2026, with Windows affected by 723 flaws and Office by 111, including 119 critical vulnerabilities. Two zero-days are actively exploited: CVE-2026-85880, a 7.8 heap-based buffer overflow in Windows ALPC allowing AppContainer privilege escalation, and CVE-2026-81963, an improper link resolution flaw in the Windows Update Stack enabling local privilege escalation. Microsoft attributed the update surge partly to agentic AI tools used to discover zero-day vulnerabilities, and researchers highlighted critical RCE flaws in Windows DNS, DHCP and Deployment Services as priorities.
