The release includes three zero-days (two actively exploited), over 60 critical vulnerabilities, and notable flaws in Active Directory Federation Services, SharePoint Server, Windows VMSwitch, Microsoft Copilot, and Exchange Server. CISA has added two exploited zero-days to its KEV catalog with tight federal remediation deadlines. Security experts warn that traditional CVSS-only prioritization is insufficient at this volume, recommending organizations adopt tiered patching SLAs using EPSS scores, CISA KEV listings, and context-aware triage. AI-generated exploits are also accelerating the window between disclosure and exploitation, further raising the stakes for patch teams. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
