Microsoft released its November 2026 Patch Tuesday updates. BleepingComputer reports 1,235 flaws fixed, including one actively exploited Microsoft Outlook zero-day. Krebs on Security reports almost 1,100 vulnerabilities and 63 critical flaws, and notes updates from Adobe, Apple, Google and Mozilla in the same period.
