  • •Microsoft's FORGE Lab identified 140 Windows CVEs from May to September 2026.
  • •155 validated reports were submitted across 23 open-source projects, including a significant Linux kernel patch.
  • •The main challenge is not finding vulnerabilities, but validating and fixing them quickly.

Microsoft's FORGE Lab reported the identification of 140 Windows vulnerabilities assigned CVEs between May and September 2026. Additionally, 155 validated reports were submitted across 23 open-source projects, with one Linux report leading to a patch merged into the kernel. The findings highlight a significant bottleneck: while AI can effectively discover vulnerabilities, the challenge lies in validating and fixing them at scale. The report emphasizes that the speed of remediation must match the pace of discovery to enhance security. Key vulnerabilities include CVE-2026-9545, CVE-2026-13608, CVE-2026-56848, and CVE-2026-64563, all rated as high severity. The articles suggest that organizations need to focus on improving their validation and remediation processes to keep up with the vulnerabilities identified by AI.
