Details: https://t.co/wOMJryz75d

Microsoft has released its November 2026 Patch Tuesday updates, fixing 1,093 newly released vulnerabilities across Windows, Office, SQL Server, SharePoint, Exchange Server, Azure services, and developer tools.

The release includes one actively exploited zero-day in Microsoft Outlook that can leak a user’s NTLMv2 authentication hash to an attacker.

CVE-2026-124194 is an actively exploited Microsoft Outlook spoofing vulnerability that can expose a user’s NTLMv2 authentication hash. Exploitation requires the user to open the malicious file and have network connectivity.

‼️ CISA Confirms Active Exploitation of Outlook User Interaction 0-Day Vulnerability

Details: https://t.co/9hqn7XHeqI

The U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency has confirmed active exploitation of a Microsoft Outlook zero-day vulnerability, CVE-2026-124194, that can expose user authentication data.

According to Microsoft’s security advisory, an attacker can send a specially crafted message file and persuade a victim to open it in Outlook.

The application may then connect to an attacker-controlled network location without showing its usual warning about external content. Microsoft released security updates for an actively exploited Outlook network-spoofing flaw (CVSS 6.5) that allows unauthenticated attackers to spoof networks.

Microsoft disclosed an actively exploited Outlook vulnerability (CVE-2026-124194, CVSS 6.5) that allows unauthenticated attackers to trick users into opening malicious Office files, potentially exposing NTLMv2 authentication hashes through connections to attacker-controlled locations without security warnings. The stolen hashes could be used to impersonate affected users.

Full Mario 64 in Mixed Reality! Running in real 3D (no stereoscopic crap) natively at 90FPS and also running on my desk! 😋
Again, Opus 5.5 + PICO CLI combo made it quite straightforward.

Such a bliss to play an oldie at 90 FPS in 3D.

Disclaimer: I own an original physical copy of Mario 64. This project is not associated with Nintendo or PICO.

Effective Immediately, all organizations using PHP for their systems are advised to be prepared for an update addressing two critical vulnerabilities. PHP is widely used for web applications. These vulnerabilities often provide a direct path to the server's file system or database. If an immediate update is not feasible, it is recommend that organizations take the system offline until it can be fully mitigated. NSA will follow up shortly with more specific guidance.

🚨 BREAKING: PHP is warning admins to prepare for emergency security updates tomorrow to fix two critical vulnerabilities rated CVSS 9.2.

However, security researchers at @watchtowrcyber rate the flaws CVSS 10.0 and say they are RCE vulnerabilities affecting PHP 5 through 8.

Information about the vulnerabilities has reportedly leaked ahead of disclosure.

No known exploitation in the wild.
