Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2025-27492

A second Secure Channel elevation of privilege bug appears in the same release, again on Server 2022 and Windows 11 22H2, meaning two separate Schannel CVEs need to be closed together this cycle. Running two live Schannel fixes side by side raises the odds that skipping one leaves a usable escalation path.

Do this: Verify both Secure Channel CVEs in this release are covered by the same cumulative update before considering Server 2022 TLS endpoints patched.
