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. The piece also notes Google-patched Chrome V8 zero-day CVE-2026-85046 lacks a Microsoft advisory for Edge, and flags nine Exchange Server flaws including remote unauthenticated RCE CVE-2026-55007.

Microsoft Patches Record 974 Vulnerabilities, Including Two Exploited Zero-Days

Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes a record 974 CVEs, including two Windows zero-days exploited in the wild for privilege escalation.

Microsoft patched 974 vulnerabilities, its largest Patch Tuesday ever, including CVE-2026-85880, a heap buffer overflow in Windows ALPC allowing AppContainer sandbox escape to System, and CVE-2026-81963, a link-following flaw in the Windows Update Stack enabling local privilege escalation. Both were exploited as zero-days before the patch. ZDI's Dustin Childs says 20 of the fixed flaws are wormable, enabling unauthenticated remote code execution. The release also covers 723 Windows flaws and 222 Office bugs, plus fixes in Exchange, SharePoint, SQL Server, Azure and Exchange Server RCE (CVE-2026-55007).

Windows Remote Desktop Client Vulnerability Allows Attackers to Execute Remote Code

Microsoft patched CVE-2026-69485, an 8.8 CVSS RCE flaw in the Windows Remote Desktop Client affecting Windows 10/11 and Server 2016-2025.

Microsoft's September 2026 updates fix CVE-2026-69485, an Important-rated remote code execution vulnerability (CVSS 3.1: 8.8, temporal 7.7) in the Windows Remote Desktop Client caused by use of an uninitialized resource. An authenticated attacker with low privileges could send a specially crafted network request to execute code on an affected server, with no user interaction required. Microsoft says the flaw was not publicly disclosed before patching and rates exploitation as 'Less Likely' with no evidence of active exploitation. Affected products span Windows Server 2016, 2019, 2022 and 2025 and Windows 10 (1607-22H2) and Windows 11 (23H2-26H1), with fixes delivered via KBs including KB5123099, KB5122876 and KB5122882.

Adobe Commerce max-severity bug comes under active attack

Attackers are actively exploiting CVE-2026-75650 (CVSS 10.0), an unauthenticated RCE zero-day in Adobe Commerce/Magento, deploying a Rust backdoor on e-commerce servers.

Sansec identified active exploitation of a CVSS 10.0 zero-day (CVE-2026-75650) in Adobe Commerce and Magento Open Source versions 2.4.4 through 2.4.9, dubbed StyleSmuggler. The attack abuses crafted style properties in Magento template processing to execute PHP while rendering a 'Payment Transaction Failed Reminder' email, then launches a Rust backdoor connecting to C2 at 99.84.67.186 disguised as NTP traffic. Exploitation began September 4, 2026; Adobe released emergency hotfix VULN-393411, but Sansec also observed a second attacker deploying a PHP web shell in the product-image cache.
