September 2026 Patch Tuesday forecast: All we need is more time

August 2026 Patch Tuesday resolved 398 CVEs, including 42 Critical and 355 Important ratings, making it the second largest update in history. Only one vulnerability was confirmed under active exploitation and two were publicly disclosed before patches became available. The vendor ecosystem continues to release record patch volumes alongside growing CVE reports.

Why it matters: Security teams face escalating patching workload with 398 vulnerabilities to assess and deploy in a single month; prioritization becomes critical when only a small fraction are actively exploited or disclosed early.
