Hello everyone! This time, let’s talk about recent vulnerabilities. I’ll start with Microsoft Patch Tuesday for September 2021. I created a report using my Vulristics tool. You can see the full report here.

Yes, it happens sometimes. The bulletin for Security Feature Bypass CVE-2021-31207 was released on May 11. Users had 4 months to install the updates.
