Among the routine fixes is one local privilege-escalation flaw already used in attacks. Prioritize it: it is the link between a phishing foothold and full compromise.

CVE-2025-12345

Most of the month's fixes are unremarkable, but one local privilege-escalation vulnerability is confirmed exploited in the wild — the kind of bug that turns a single clicked attachment into domain-wide trouble.

Deploy the update to internet-facing and high-value hosts first, then everything else within your normal window.
