Microsoft February 2026 Patch Tuesday Fixes 6 Zero-Days and 58 Flaws
Microsoft has released its February 2026 Patch Tuesday security update, which patches 58 vulnerabilities across its product lineup, including six zero-day flaws that were being actively exploited in the wild. BleepingComputer reports that the zero-day fixes are particularly urgent, as attackers had already been leveraging these vulnerabilities before patches were available.
The breadth of the update underscores the persistent and evolving nature of cybersecurity threats targeting Microsoft's ecosystem, from Windows operating systems to Office applications and other enterprise software. Security professionals are urging organizations to prioritize deploying these patches as quickly as possible, especially for the zero-day vulnerabilities, which pose the most immediate risk. The six zero-days represent a notably high number for a single Patch Tuesday cycle, highlighting the intensity of current threat activity.
