Microsoft has recently issued urgent security updates for various versions of Windows and Windows Server, including Windows 11 and Windows Server 2022, in response to ongoing attacks exploiting five critical vulnerabilities. These vulnerabilities are classified with a high threat level, indicating that they pose a serious risk to users.
The attackers are utilizing links that trick victims into activating vulnerabilities within the system. When the Microsoft Edge browser is switched to Internet Explorer mode, users become vulnerable due to that mode’s lack of active support and security updates. This exploit targets components like the common log file system driver, allowing attackers to execute malicious code remotely.
Apart from these critical vulnerabilities, additional threats have been identified in Microsoft Defender and Visual Studio, with attacks potentially being imminent. These vulnerabilities allow misuse of the systems, leading to unauthorized code execution.
In particular, Microsoft Azure is exposed through two critical vulnerabilities, which could grant attackers elevated user rights. Overall, both Excel and a range of Windows components remain susceptible to threats, urging users to promptly apply the latest security updates.
For detailed information on the vulnerabilities and necessary actions, users can refer to Microsoft’s Security Update Guide.
