Microsoft Rolls Out 22 Fresh Security Patches

Microsoft has distributed 22 new security updates to remediate critical and high-severity vulnerabilities across its portfolio, including Azure, Entra ID, Exchange Online, Fabric, and Partner Center. The release addresses several maximum-scoring flaws, such as remote code execution and elevation of privilege issues in Azure SQL Database (CVE-2026-69502), Azure Arc (CVE-2026-69555, CVE-2026-65816), and Entra ID (CVE-2026-69836). For most of these defects, customers do not need to take action because Microsoft implemented the mitigations on the server side, though additional patches cover high-severity bugs in services like Copilot and Windows Remote Help Defense.
