Microsoft and Adobe Patch Tuesday, March 2026 Security Update Review | Qualys
Summary: Microsoft's March 2026 Patch Tuesday addresses 93 vulnerabilities, including eight critical and 75 important, and covers two publicly disclosed zero-day flaws along with nine Microsoft Edge issues patched earlier in the month. Adobe released eight advisories covering 80 vulnerabilities across Commerce, Illustrator, Substance 3D Painter, Acrobat Reader, Premiere Pro, Experience Manager, Substance 3D Stager, and the DNG SDK, 21 of them rated critical.
Key Takeaway: Two zero-days are already public before your patch window opens, and an SQL Server access control flaw lets an authenticated attacker climb to sysadmin privileges across the network - both are the kind of exposure that gets exploited before the next Patch Tuesday on April 14.
