Stay Ahead of Threats with the Latest Vulnerability Updates for June


Stay up to date on critical cyber risks, Microsoft’s June Patch Tuesday, and other notable third-party vulnerabilities. Timely patching is key to maintaining a strong security posture and protecting your business from threats. 

Quick Highlights

  • Microsoft Patch Tuesday: 
    206 vulnerabilities disclosed 
    33 rated Critical3 are Zero-Day (publicly disclosed).
    – Microsoft has patched a larger than average number of critical vulnerabilities this month, including flaws previously disclosed by security researcher Nightmare Eclipse. 
  • Advisories from Major Vendors: 
    Adobe: 123 vulnerabilities patched across 11 products 
    Cisco1 critical-severity flaw with a proof-of-concept exploit available, 1 high-severity flaw which is being actively exploited 
    Fortinet1 critical-severity flaws in FortiSandbox, FortiSandbox Cloud and FortiSandbox PaaS 
    Ivanti2 critical-severity flaws in Ivanti Sentry and 2 high-severity flaws in Ivanti Endpoint Manager Mobile 
    SAP4 critical vulnerabilities in SAP NetWeaver AS ABAP/ABAP Platform, SAP Commerce Cloud and SAP Data Hub 
    VEEAM1 critical-severity flaw patched in Veeam Backup & Replication 12.3.2.4465 
  • Top Threats to Watch: 
    AI-powered attacks accelerating – Adversaries are increasingly using AI to discover vulnerabilities, build exploits (including zero-days), and automate intrusion workflows, making attacks faster and more scalable. 
    Trusted platform abuse for delivery and evasion – Attackers are leveraging legitimate services (ChatGPT, Claude, Dropbox, GitHub, Salesforce) to host malware, evade detection, and bypass traditional security controls. 
    Credential and session hijacking evolving beyond passwords – New phishing kits and exploits target OAuth tokens, GitHub tokens, and MFA bypass techniques, enabling persistent access without needing credentials. 
    Social engineering + vishing as primary initial access vectors – Highly targeted campaigns use phone calls, staged conversations, and impersonation (IT support, customers) to bypass technical defenses and gain access quickly. 
    Critical infrastructure & edge systems under active exploitation – Severe vulnerabilities (VPN auth bypass, RCE chains, endpoint security flaws) are being actively exploited, often leading to full system compromise or root access. 

Windows 10 Reaches End of Support

As of October 14, 2025, Microsoft has officially ended support for Windows 10. October 2025’s Patch Tuesday was the final security update for the OS—unless your organization enrolls in the Extended Security Updates (ESU) program. 

  • What This Means for Your Organization: 
    – No more security patches or bug fixes for Windows 10 devices  
    – Increased exposure to vulnerabilities and compliance risks  
    – Continued support requires either: 1.) Enrolling in Microsoft’s paid ESU program, or 2.) Upgrading to Windows 11
  • Upgrading Windows 11  
    Unlike traditional feature upgrades, Windows 11 25H2 is built on the same servicing branch and code base as Windows 11 24H2, making the transition simpler and lower risk.  

    Fortress has thoroughly tested Windows 11 25H2 and recommends upgrading all supported devices. To begin the upgrade process, contact our 24/7/365 Security Operations Team or reach out to your client experience manager.  

Windows 11 End of Support

As of November 2025, Microsoft has officially ended support for earlier versions of Windows 11 (listed below).

  • Windows 11 version 21H2 (All Editions) 
  • Windows 11 version 22H2 (All Editions) 
  • Windows 11 version 23H2 (Home & Pro) 

We would also like to highlight several upcoming End of Support dates for the following Windows releases: 

  • Windows 11 version 23H2 (Enterprise & Education) – Support ends November 10, 2026. After this date, these editions will no longer receive security updates or fixes. 
  • Windows 11 version 24H2 (Home & Pro) – Support ends October 13, 2026. Devices running these editions should be upgraded before this date to remain supported and secure. 

Fortress recommends reviewing device inventories ahead of these deadlines to ensure systems are upgraded in advance and remain within a supported lifecycle. 

* Some specialized editions of Windows 11 24H2 (e.g. Long Term Support Cycle) will continue to receive extended support through 2029. However, for all other editions we recommend upgrading to Windows 11 25H2.  

Windows Server 2016 End of Support

Support for Windows Server 2016 is scheduled to end on January 12, 2027, which is now less than a year away. After this date, Microsoft will no longer provide security updates, bug fixes, or technical support for the platform. 

Organizations still running Windows Server 2016 should begin planning upgrade or migration strategies to avoid increased security risk and compliance concerns once support ends. 

Fortress recommends reviewing affected systems early to allow sufficient time for testing, upgrades, or workload migration before the end-of-support deadline.

Recommended Actions

Mitigations

  • Patch and upgrade critical systems immediately (VPNs, UniFi OS, endpoint security tools) and deprecate insecure protocols like IKEv1.  
  • Restrict exposure of management interfaces and enforce network segmentation for internet-facing systems.  
  • Disable or limit risky authentication flows (e.g., device code flow) and enforce strong MFA and token protections.  
  • Block or strictly control use of remote access tools (RMM, screen sharing) and enforce application allowlisting.  
  • Educate users on phishing, smishing, and malvertising risks, especially involving “trusted” platforms and urgent scenarios. 

Monitoring

  • Monitor authentication logs for anomalous behavior (impossible travel, new devices, excessive login attempts, token anomalies).  
  • Track unusual outbound traffic to cloud storage, SaaS platforms, or AI service domains used as C2 channels.  
  • Alert on suspicious DNS queries, long encoded domains, or abnormal web server activity indicative of web shells.  
  • Watch for installation or execution of unauthorized tools (RMM agents, tunneling utilities, scripting engines).  
  • Monitor user behavior within SaaS/enterprise apps for large data exports or abnormal access patterns. 

Detection Tips

  • Detect phishing patterns involving device codes, shared chatbot links, or staged conversations/social engineering chains.  
  • Identify command injection, RCE attempts, and exploitation chains targeting exposed services and APIs.  
  • Hunt for suspicious endpoint behavior such as PowerShell execution, LNK file launches, or encoded/obfuscated scripts.  
  • Flag abnormal process behaviors (e.g., web servers spawning shells, privilege escalation activity, reflective loading).  
  • Detect AI-assisted or polymorphic malware through behavior-based analytics rather than signatures alone.
