Patch Tuesday for November 2026 sees Microsoft publishing 1,092 of its own vulnerabilities across its products, including 1,102 in Windows, according to Rapid7. The firm notes that, despite the unprecedented volume this year, there has been no corresponding rise in vulnerabilities exploited in the wild; exploitation in the wild is known for just one vulnerability disclosed today, with no publicly disclosed exploit in November 2026.
The report also highlights that certain fixes address high‑risk, pre‑auth risk scenarios, alongside ongoing Microsoft lifecycle updates such as continued movement of .NET 8 LTS and PowerShell 7.4 LTS into lifecycle phases as of 11 November 2026.
Notable entries include Outlook: CVE-2026-124194, described as an exploited‑in‑the‑wild spoofing vulnerability that can cause Outlook to leak an NTLM v2 hash when a specially crafted malicious file is opened; the NTLM hash can be relayed or cracked offline, with the Preview Pane not being a vector. Windows Schannel faces CVE-2026-119952, a pre‑auth RCE in TLS’ Schannel component, with exploitability contingent on the vulnerable service and execution context potentially being SYSTEM in some cases.
Exchange/Windows Search expose CVE-2026-116928, enabling pre‑auth RCE on the server via a malicious attachment processed by Exchange. Rapid7 attributes these findings to Microsoft’s advisory guidance and notes the patches apply across supported Windows versions, with some dependency on broader service configurations such as Exchange deployment.
