⚡ TL;DR | Go Straight to the September 2020 Patch Tuesday Audit Report.

Microsoft released their September 2020 Patch Tuesday updates to fix almost 130 CVE-numbered security vulnerabilities, 23 of which could be exploited to seize control of your Windows computer. The September 2020 security updates also include fixes for 2 critical vulnerabilities outside Windows products.

Critical Vulnerabilities in Google Chrome browser

The Patch Tuesday isn’t just about Windows updates, Google released Chrome 85, a critical update for the Google Chrome browser that fixes 20 security vulnerabilities, 5 of which have a high severity. There are different types of vulnerabilities: insufficient policy enforcement problems, incorrect security UI, side-channel information leakage, or inappropriate implementation.

It’s also the third time that Adobe didn’t release security updates for it’s Flash Player. Apparently, Adobe will retire the plugin by December.

Dangerous bugs for companies

CVE-2020-16875 is a critical flaw in the e-mail software Microsoft Exchange Server 2016 and 2019: the attacker could use the flaw to run code just by sending a suspicious e-mail.

There is also CVE-2020-1210, this is a remote code execution flaw in Microsoft Sharepoint. Hackers can attack this by uploading a file to a vulnerable Sharepoint website.

Adobe fixes 18 security flaws for vulnerabilities within InDesign and Framemaker. These are high severity bugs that could allow arbitrary JavaScript execution or execution with unnecessary privilege.

Intel patches 4 security vulnerabilities within it’s Intel Driver & Support Assistant. This may allow escalation of privilege so it’s important to run the software updates.
