New Patch Updates from Microsoft
In November 2023, Microsoft issued remedies for 63 security vulnerabilities in its software, focusing on addressing three vulnerabilities actively exploited in real-world scenarios.

Within the pool of 63 identified flaws, three carry a Critical rating, 56 are classified as Important, and four hold a Moderate severity rating. Notably, two vulnerabilities were publicly disclosed at the time of the release.

These recent updates supplement the resolution of over 35 security issues within Microsoft’s Chromium based Edge browser, extending the efforts initiated with the Patch Tuesday updates from October 2023

The recent patch updates from Microsoft specifically target five zero-day vulnerabilities across various products, ranging from the Windows operating system to Office applications. Even a Windows Defender flaw was being exploited bypassing the default Windows Defender Smart Screen.
