Intune Policy Autopatch CVE Gap High
Medium Severity Microsoft 365 security check in the Intune configuration domain.
A High-severity CVE (CVSS 7.0-8.9) has KB articles in the Windows Update catalog that are not covered by any active Autopatch deployment. High CVEs are exploitable conditions with significant impact but typically requiring some precondition (authenticated user, network proximity, etc.). Siemserva runs this check automatically across your tenant and maps every finding to the compliance frameworks below.
Check summary
What this check verifies
A High-severity CVE (CVSS 7.0-8.9) has KB articles in the Windows Update catalog that are not covered by any active Autopatch deployment.
Why it matters
High CVEs are exploitable conditions with significant impact but typically requiring some precondition (authenticated user, network proximity, etc.). Deployment coverage closes the gap before those preconditions can be combined with another finding for a full attack chain.
How to fix it
Add the relevant catalog entry to an Autopatch deployment as part of the regular monthly cadence. If the vendor severity is also Critical or there is a public exploit, consider expediting.
Siemserva flags every tenant where this check fails and, with Senserva Trustworthy AI remediation, can propose a validated fix you approve before it applies.
