Security Weekly - A CRA Resource: What 972 Microsoft Patches Signal

Microsoft's September security release addressed roughly 972 vulnerabilities, including 112 rated critical. Two exploited zero-days were among the issues, alongside vulnerabilities affecting Exchange Server, SharePoint, SQL Server, Remote Desktop Services, and Microsoft Authenticator.

The volume is striking, but the bigger concern is what happens when actively exploited and potentially wormable flaws arrive at this scale. The discussion also points to AI-assisted vulnerability discovery as a possible factor behind increasing patch volumes across major vendors.

If this level of patching becomes routine, how should security teams rethink vulnerability management and prioritization?
