Among the 162 CVEs addressed that month were three Elevation of Privilege (EoP) vulnerabilities affecting Microsoft Hyper-V. While the broader patch batch also included remote code execution, denial-of-service, and spoofing vulnerabilities across other products, these three Hyper-V EoP vulnerabilities stood out for one critical reason: they had already been exploited in the wild before the patches were released, making them true zero-days.
Because Hyper-V underpins Microsoft Azure's virtual machine service, its footprint extends well beyond individual servers and workstations into hyperscale cloud infrastructure.
