Microsoft’s latest update fixes 183 weaknesses, including a Secure Boot bypass and virtual machine escape issue, suggesting increased cyber threats.
Microsoft updated its products to address 183 security weaknesses. With the exception of customers who pay for the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program, Microsoft officially stops support for Windows 10. 165 of these 183 weaknesses have been identified as important, 17 as serious, and one as moderate. Other problems include remote code execution (33), data leakage (28), phishing (14), denial-of-service (11), and bypassing security features (11). A majority of issues allow attackers to gain greater access rights (84). These updates come after 25 issues with Microsoft's Edge browser were recently resolved.
Zero-day weaknesses are two of the issues that are being regularly exploited. One is the outdated Windows Agere Modem Driver (CVE-2025-24990), that Microsoft intends to remove completely instead of fixing it. The other is found in the CVE-2025-59230 Remote Access Connection Manager (RasMan) component. Attackers will be able to take access over a system through both. A Secure Boot bypass in IGEL OS (CVE-2025-47827) is a third commonly exploited weakness that, with physical access, can allow attackers to install deep-level malware.
An issue in the TPM software, a remote code execution problem in Windows Server Update Service, and a Windows URL processing bug that might allow attackers to run harmful code through carefully designed links are other serious problems. Microsoft's continuous updates suggest the importance of staying safe as attackers are becoming highly skilled. To stay ahead of growing and changing threats, future defenses may depend on AI and continuous protections built into operating systems.
