Patch Tuesday - September 2026

Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes 999 CVEs, a record, with two zero-day privilege escalation flaws already exploited in the wild.

Microsoft published 974 own-product vulnerabilities plus 25 non-Microsoft CVEs, totaling 999 — the most CVEs Microsoft has ever released in a single day. Two flaws are exploited in the wild: CVE-2026-85880, an out-of-bounds write in Windows ALPC granting SYSTEM privileges, and CVE-2026-81963, an improper link resolution flaw in the Windows Update Stack also leading to SYSTEM. Chrome's V8 zero-day CVE-2026-85046 was patched in Edge on September 2, but Microsoft had not published a corresponding advisory, leaving uncertainty about other Chromium fixes in Edge. October 14 lifecycle changes end servicing for Windows 11 24H2 Home/Pro, Office 2021, and Exchange Server 2016/2019.

CVE-2026-87464: RCE outside sandbox in Chromium prior to 153.0.8010.36

CVE-2026-87464 is a critical use-after-free in Chrome's WebGL allowing sandbox-escaping RCE via crafted HTML pages, fixed in 153.0.8010.36.

Google Chrome prior to 153.0.8010.36 contains a use-after-free in WebGL that allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code outside the sandbox via a crafted HTML page. Google rates it as Chromium security severity Critical, though tracker details are restricted. Debian indicates all current Chromium packages are affected, and the flaw likely impacts Chromium-derived browsers. No active exploitation is mentioned in the disclosure.

Microsoft's record September 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes 974 CVEs, including two exploited Windows privilege-escalation zero-days and 20 wormable bugs.

Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes a record 974 CVEs, including two actively exploited zero-days: CVE-2026-85880, an ALPC heap buffer overflow, and CVE-2026-81963 in the Windows Update Stack, both CVSS 7.8 local privilege escalations. It also addresses an unauthenticated Exchange RCE (CVE-2026-55007) triggered by Visio attachment content indexing under memory pressure, an RDP use-after-free (CVE-2026-69525, CVSS 9.8), and 20 wormable flaws in DNS, DHCP, SMB, Active Directory, and other components. ZDI attributed the rising volume partly to AI-assisted vulnerability discovery, noting no corresponding spike in active exploits yet.
