Microsoft's Massive Patch Tuesday: It's Raining Bugs

The update also fixes two zero-days, including a SharePoint flaw exploited in attacks, and patches remote code execution bugs in Microsoft Office.

  • On Tuesday, Microsoft released security updates for 167 flaws, including two zero-day vulnerabilities and 80 Edge and Chromium flaws fixed by Google, marking its second-largest monthly patch release ever.
  • An actively exploited SharePoint spoofing vulnerability, CVE-2026-32201, allows unauthorized attackers to perform network spoofing by exploiting improper input validation in Microsoft SharePoint Server, enabling theft and modification of sensitive data.
  • A second zero-day, Microsoft Defender elevation of privilege flaw CVE-2026-33825, matches exploit code called BlueHammer, attributed to a researcher calling themselves "Chaotic Eclipse" who published it on GitHub earlier this month.
  • Action1 president Mike Walters warned the SharePoint flaw lets attackers "fake trust at scale" through phishing, while Zero Day Initiative expert Dustin Childs urged users to "test and deploy" the Defender fix quickly.
  • Record-Breaking patch volume may stem from increased AI tool use in vulnerability discovery, according to Zero Day Initiative expert Childs; Adobe, Fortinet, SAP, and Google also issued security updates this month.
