Microsoft’s Patching

Microsoft will release 972 patched vulnerabilities on September 15, 2026, including 112 rated critical, surpassing its August record of 570. The surge reflects artificial intelligence (AI)-powered vulnerability discovery across the industry, which companies like Google, OpenAI, and Amazon Web Services have warned poses imminent exploitation risks. Security teams face shrinking windows to deploy patches as AI also accelerates reverse-engineering of exploits from released updates.

Why it matters: Windows administrators and security teams must prioritize immediate deployment of tomorrow's September patch to defend against the anticipated wave of AI-enabled attacks that will target these 112 critical vulnerabilities within days of release.
