Microsoft Patches Dozens of Windows Bugs, Including One Used by Hackers
Microsoft has released new security updates to fix 63 flaws in Windows and other products, including one that hackers are already taking advantage of.
The company says the most serious issue, known as CVE-2025-62215, affects the core of the Windows operating system. It could allow attackers who already have limited access to a computer to take full control of it. Microsoft discovered the problem itself and rushed to release a fix.
Cyber experts warn that hackers could use this flaw to move deeper into company networks once they’ve broken in through other means, such as phishing emails or malicious links.
The update also fixes two serious bugs that could let attackers remotely run malicious code, and another issue in Microsoft’s sign-in system that could let criminals impersonate users and access sensitive information.
Microsoft is urging all Windows users and businesses to install the latest updates as soon as possible. Regular software updates remain one of the simplest and most effective ways to stay protected online.
Other major tech companies — including Apple, Google, Cisco, Intel, and Adobe — have also released security fixes this month.
