vendor advisories

Microsoft’s Security Response Guide lists an entry for CVE‑2026‑21246 as a Windows Graphics Component elevation‑of‑privilege issue, but public records and independent trackers show conflicting identifiers and sparse technical detail — meaning defenders must treat the advisory as confirmed by...

A Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) entry now lists CVE-2026-21226 — a reported remote code execution (RCE) class vulnerability in the Azure Core shared client library for Python — but public technical detail is limited and the vendor’s own “confidence” metric indicates the disclosure is...

Microsoft’s brief advisory that “Azure Linux includes this open‑source library and is therefore potentially affected” is accurate — but it is a product‑scoped attestation, not proof that no other Microsoft product contains the same vulnerable Linux kernel component; operators must treat Azure...

CISA Releases Thirteen Industrial Control Systems Advisories — what operators, integrators and security teams must do next by [Staff Reporter], October 16, 2025 CISA published a consolidated release of thirteen Industrial Control Systems (ICS) advisories on October 16, 2025, calling attention to...

Siemens Solid Edge users and industrial CAD operators must treat a cluster of high‑severity parsing flaws as a live operational risk: multiple vulnerabilities (CVE‑2025‑40809 through CVE‑2025‑40812) in Solid Edge’s PRT file handling can crash the application or allow arbitrary code execution...

Microsoft has published an advisory for CVE-2025-59213, a high-severity SQL injection vulnerability in Microsoft Configuration Manager that can be abused for local elevation of privilege; administrators must urgently verify the exact KB mapping for their Configuration Manager branch and deploy...

CISA’s January 10 advisory bundle underscored a familiar but dangerous reality for operators of industrial control systems: several widely deployed OT products shipped with high-impact defects that can be exploited through routine file handling, legacy third‑party components, or simple network...

Siemens has confirmed a vulnerability in its APOGEE PXC and TALON TC building automation devices that allows an unauthenticated remote actor to retrieve sensitive files — including the device’s encrypted database — over BACnet, a widely used building automation protocol, a weakness now tracked...

Windows 11 users faced a sudden and alarming data‑integrity scare when an August cumulative update was linked to a reproducible failure mode that can make certain SSDs “vanish” from the operating system during sustained, large writes — a problem that can truncate files, corrupt partitions, and...

Microsoft and Phison have now all but closed the book on the late‑August panic: after weeks of community reports, lab reproductions and headlines warning that Windows 11 24H2’s August cumulative (KB5063878) was “bricking” SSDs, thorough vendor and Microsoft testing found no reproducible link...

Microsoft and Phison have pushed back hard against a wave of social-media claims that the latest Windows 11 cumulative update is “bricking” NVMe SSDs — but the episode exposes a brittle edge case in modern storage stacks, a gap between telemetry and forensic proof, and practical steps every...

Thanks — I can write the 2,000+ word, in-depth feature article in rich Markdown for WindowsForum.com. Before I start, two quick clarifying questions so I match your needs exactly: 1) Do you want the article to be strictly based on Microsoft’s advisory at the MSRC link you provided, or do you...

Two parallel announcements from Meta and Microsoft this week — a patched zero-click vulnerability in WhatsApp and a timetable for mandatory multi-factor authentication across Azure — crystallise a single lesson for enterprise security teams: convenience is no longer an acceptable substitute for...

Phison’s lab says the recent Windows 11 cumulative update is not “breaking” SSDs — but the episode lays bare how fragile modern storage stacks can be, how quickly panic and misinformation spread, and why conservative update practices and strong backups remain non-negotiable. Background /...

Microsoft’s August cumulative update for Windows 11 (KB5063878) has been linked by multiple independent testers and SSD vendors to a troubling storage regression: under sustained, large write workloads some SSDs temporarily vanish from the operating system — and in a subset of reports files...

A wave of community test results and vendor confirmations this week has put the latest Windows 11 cumulative update under a harsh spotlight: several SSDs can disappear from Windows during sustained, large write operations after installing the August 12, 2025 update (KB5063878), with a...

Within days of Microsoft’s August 2025 Patch Tuesday, a cluster of independent testers and community posts began documenting a worrying pattern: after installing the Windows 11 24H2 cumulative update (tracked as KB5063878, with a related preview package KB5062660), some NVMe SSDs momentarily or...

A wave of reproducible reports and a parallel burst of misinformation have combined to create one of the more consequential Patch Tuesday headaches in recent memory: Microsoft’s August 12, 2025 cumulative for Windows 11 (KB5063878) has been linked to SSDs disappearing under sustained, heavy...

Phison has publicly disowned a circulated advisory that claimed Windows 11’s August cumulative update was uniquely “killing” Phison‑based SSDs, while the vendor — and several independent labs — simultaneously confirm an industry‑wide storage regression tied to the August 12, 2025 cumulative...

Microsoft and several SSD vendors are investigating reports that the August 12, 2025 cumulative update for Windows 11 24H2 (KB5063878, OS Build 26100.4946) can trigger a reproducible storage regression where some SSDs vanish from the operating system during sustained, large sequential writes — a...
