About this tag
Discussions on WindowsForum.com about Microsoft Partner Center cover two main areas: security vulnerabilities and partner designations. A security advisory for CVE-2025-65041 highlights an elevation of privilege flaw in Partner Center, with limited public technical details. Separately, multiple threads report companies earning Microsoft Solutions Partner badges for Digital & App Innovation on Azure, a recognition that validates cloud-native development, application modernization, and DevOps capabilities. These designations are part of Microsoft's shift from the legacy gold/silver competency model to a capability-based scoring system. The Partner Center portal is also mentioned as the administrative hub for managing these partnerships and for individual developers publishing to the Microsoft Store, where fee waivers have been introduced.
