CVSS scores are sourced directly from Microsoft’s CVRF data as of October 14, 2025; exploitation status is cross-checked against CISA’s KEV catalog. Later re-scoring by NVD can shift a CVE’s score after this report was generated.

Why This Matters

No vulnerabilities in this release are yet listed in CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, but that can change quickly once a patch is public and attackers reverse-engineer it. Organizations should prioritize the critical- and important-rated CVEs above, especially any with public proof-of-concept exploits.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many vulnerabilities did Microsoft patch in October 2025? 429 CVEs, per Microsoft’s October 14, 2025 Patch Tuesday release.

Were any October 2025 Patch Tuesday vulnerabilities actively exploited? Not as of October 14, 2025, per CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog — this can change as exploitation is discovered after release.
