Microsoft released patches for 570 security vulnerabilities across its product lines, attributing the spike to AI-assisted discovery of previously hidden code flaws. The batch included at least two zero-day exploits actively being used against Windows Server and SharePoint, with one allowing privilege escalation to system administrator level. Microsoft indicated that monthly patch volumes will remain elevated as AI tools continue to identify dormant vulnerabilities in legacy code.
