Microsoft Patch Tuesday for November 2025 — Snort rules and prominent vulnerabilities
Summary: Microsoft's November 2025 security update covers 63 vulnerabilities, 5 of them rated critical, and one important flaw, CVE-2025-62215, has already been detected in the wild. That exploited issue is a Windows Kernel elevation of privilege vulnerability with a CVSS 3.1 score of 7.8, a race condition that lets an authorized attacker elevate privileges locally at low attack complexity.
Bottom line: The one confirmed-exploited flaw this month is rated only important, not critical, and carries a low attack complexity - so a patch queue sorted by severity alone would leave it sitting. Among the critical entries, CVE-2025-60724 in GDI+ scores 9.8 and can be triggered on web services by uploading a crafted metafile with no user interaction and no privileges required.
