On July 18th, 2025, Microsoft released a batch of critical security updates to address vulnerabilities across its software portfolio. These updates tackle 128 identified weaknesses, including one zero-day exploit that had already been publicly disclosed before the patches were available. The update cycle is designed to provide cumulative security enhancements for Windows 10 and 11, as well as server versions, ensuring that all users are protected against both recent and older vulnerabilities. For legacy systems like Windows Server 2012 R2, extended support until October 2026 will be available via Extended Security Updates (ESU). Detailed information on specific CVEs, including critical issues affecting SQL Server, SharePoint, and Hyper-V, is now available through Microsoft’s security update guide and partner analyses.
