Description

Microsoft fixed critical vulnerabilities across Azure, Entra, and SharePoint, while Apple patched a high-severity authentication bypass. The post Microsoft, Apple Release Fresh Security Updates appeared first on SecurityWeek .

Impact

The vulnerabilities fixed by Microsoft could allow remote attackers to execute code, escalate privileges, or bypass authentication and authorization controls across critical cloud and enterprise services, potentially leading to unauthorized access and control. Apple's authentication bypass vulnerability could enable remote attackers on the network to gain unauthorized access to Screen Sharing sessions without valid credentials. These issues pose significant risks to confidentiality, integrity, and availability of affected systems if exploited.

Summary

Microsoft addressed multiple critical vulnerabilities in Azure, Entra, SharePoint, Active Directory, and Teams, including remote code execution and elevation of privilege flaws. Notably, CVE-2026-63508, CVE-2026-56162, and CVE-2026-65667 have maximum severity ratings of 10/10 and involve missing or improper authentication and authorization, exploitable over the network. Additional critical issues with CVSS 9.9 include remote code execution and privilege escalation in Azure Service Bus, Azure SRE Agent, Entra Provisioning Service, and Active Directory. Apple patched CVE-2026-65400, a high-severity authentication bypass in Screen Sharing, allowing network attackers to authenticate without valid credentials. The Apple fixes were released in macOS Tahoe 26.6.1, Sequoia 15.7.9, and Sonoma 14.8.9.
