It’s April already and everyone is looking towards Microsoft, in hopes that some of the flaws they’ve been struggling with will finally get fixed.
We’ve already provided the direct download links for the cumulative updates released today for Windows 10 and 11, but now it’s time to talk about Critical Vulnerabilities and Exposures again.
This month, the Redmond tech giant released 128 new patches, which is a lot more than some people were expecting right before Easter.
These software updates address CVEs in:
- Microsoft Windows and Windows Components
- Microsoft Defender and Defender for Endpoint

- Exchange Server
- Office and Office Components
- SharePoint Server
- Windows Hyper-V
- DNS Server
- Skype for Business

Before we get into a more in-depth analysis, note that all this is in addition to the 17 CVEs released for the Chromium Open-Source Software (OSS) by Microsoft Edge (Chromium-based).
