CVE-2026-68821 [HIGH] Patch Tuesday - August 2026
Microsoft is publishing 421 vulnerabilities on August 2026 Patch Tuesday , including 236 vulnerabilities in Windows. This is lower volume than last month’s record-breaking behemoth, but still one of the largest Patch Tuesday totals ever. There is no reason to suppose that Patch Tuesday will ever return to the lower volumes we saw prior to 2026. Microsoft is aware of exploitation in the wild for one of the vulnerabilities published today, as well as public disclosure for two others, although the Notable CVEs section of the Security Update Guide omits one of these. As usual, browser vulns are not included in the Patch Tuesday count above, but unusually, Microsoft does not appear to have published any desktop browser security patches so far this month.
