Updates by month
What Microsoft, Apple and the Linux distributions released in a calendar month. Each list is in priority order: exploited (KEV or vendor-confirmed) first, then by exploited CVEs closed, then by highest EPSS. Counts include every update released that month, supported products or not. Third-party apps follow below, by recent vulnerability.
Patch Tuesday was September 9, 2025: 80 CVEs (7 critical) in 36 security updates, 0 exploited at release.

How priority is set
Four tiers with published rules, the same rules the Patchblox Vulnerability Hub uses. A fix takes the highest tier of any CVE it closes.
Exploited in the wild: the vendor reports exploitation, or the CVE is in CISA's Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog.
The vendor rates exploitation as more likely, or rates the CVE Critical.
CVSS 7.0 or higher, or rated High by the vendor when no CVSS score is published.
Everything else. Still worth installing on your normal schedule.
EPSS is shown as context and breaks ties within a tier. It does not move a CVE between tiers: a probability model should not outrank a confirmed exploitation report.
Where the data comes from
This list is everyone's. Yours is shorter.
The tracker tells you what's exploited and what fixes it. Patchblox tells you which of your machines are still exposed, on every platform, and deploys the fix on Windows and Linux.
- Works from the Intune, Entra and Azure Update Manager data you already have
- Matches every installed app and OS build to the fix that closes its CVEs
- Deploys through rings with validation, then confirms the exposure closed
