Patch these first

Being exploited, already public, or on CISA’s list of vulnerabilities attackers are using. Whatever else waits for testing, these should not.

Critical (5)

Microsoft’s top rating: usually code execution with little or no user action.

Added to CISA KEV in November 2025 (11)

Every vendor, not only Microsoft. CISA adds a vulnerability when it has evidence attackers are using it. US federal agencies must fix it by the deadline shown; for everyone else, it is the best free “patch this now” list there is.

All 63 fixes

Published later in the month (8)

Microsoft Edge updates, out-of-band fixes and cloud services. “Fixed by Microsoft” means a cloud service Microsoft has already patched: there is nothing to install.

From Microsoft’s Security Update Guide and CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, checked 1 day ago. Only vulnerabilities Microsoft itself issued are counted; Chromium fixes that Edge inherits are left out. For known problems with the updates themselves, see Windows release health.
