Microsoft security update released 2026-01-13. Fixes 7 CVEs.
All about KB5002825: the download, the Senserva AI read, what the press says about it, a PowerShell installed-check, install guidance, the CVEs it fixes, and its change history.
KB5002825 is a Critical security update for Microsoft SharePoint Server 2019, released 2026-01-13. It closes 7 CVEs with a maximum CVSS of 9.8. At least one of them is actively exploited (CISA KEV), so this is a deploy-first update. Get it from the Microsoft Update Catalog below, and see where it sits against the rest of the month on the patch tracker.
Exploitation is not theoretical here: at least one CVE this update fixes is on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, which means attackers are already using it against unpatched systems. For an update like this, the risk window is the gap between today and the day your last device installs it, so shortening that gap matters more than perfect scheduling.
Most organizations deliver an update like this automatically through Intune update rings, Windows Update for Business, Windows Autopatch, or WSUS; the install section below covers each path, including how to expedite it for the exploited CVE. For the bigger picture: how the Microsoft patching tools fit together, this month's Patch Tuesday summary, and every update ranked by real-world risk.

Update summary
Senserva AI Opinion for KB5002825
KB5002825 patches 7 CVEs across SharePoint Server 2019 and Office 2016 (32-bit and 64-bit), topped by a Critical flaw at CVSS 9.8 with one CVE already listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog. Anyone running an internet-facing SharePoint 2019 farm is directly exposed, and the confirmed exploitation plus a 29% EPSS means active attack interest is realistic rather than theoretical. The KEV listing is not ransomware-linked, but the CVSS 9.8 severity points to unauthenticated remote compromise potential.
Do this: Prioritize deploying KB5002825 to internet-facing SharePoint Server 2019 hosts first, then roll it out to Office 2016 clients.

Among the top 25% of tracked Microsoft updates by EPSS exploit probability.
What to do
Treat as urgent: it is being exploited in the wild (CISA KEV), so patch ahead of items that are not. Senserva flags whether KB5002825 is missing on your devices.
Check if KB5002825 is installed
Copy-paste PowerShell: one machine, or your whole fleet in one pass. No output means the update is not installed.

How to install KB5002825
Any of these paths delivers KB5002825; most organizations already have one of the first three running:
- Intune update rings (Windows Update for Business): the update flows on each ring's deferral schedule. For this update, consider an expedite policy: it bypasses deferrals for exactly this fix-now case.
- Windows Autopatch: rings, rollout, and pause or rollback are managed for you; exploited updates can be expedited.
- WSUS / Configuration Manager: approve KB5002825 for your device groups and set a deadline (deadline, not just approval, for an exploited fix).
- Manual: download from the Update Catalog above and install; fine for a handful of machines, unmanageable at any real scale.
After the rollout, verify rather than assume: update compliance reporting in Intune or Autopatch shows which devices actually installed it, and Siemserva reads Intune, Defender, Autopatch, and Azure Update Manager together to show the devices still missing KB5002825, ranked by exploitation.
Common questions about KB5002825
Is KB5002825 urgent?
Yes. KB5002825 fixes at least one vulnerability in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, meaning attackers are using it in the wild. Deploy it first.
How do I download KB5002825?
From the Microsoft Update Catalog (linked on this page), or let Intune, Windows Update for Business, Windows Autopatch, or WSUS deliver it. The catalog page lists the download for each supported product.
How do I deploy KB5002825 with Intune?
Assign a Windows Update ring (quality update policy) to the device groups and the update flows on the ring's deferral schedule. Because KB5002825 fixes an actively exploited CVE, an Intune expedite policy is the right tool: it bypasses configured deferrals and pushes the update as soon as devices check in. Verify the rollout with update compliance reporting rather than assuming delivery.
Can I ask my own AI about KB5002825?
Yes. This page includes a free, ready-to-paste AI prompt containing KB5002825's key facts: severity, CVE count, exploitation status, and the download link. Copy it into Claude, ChatGPT, or Copilot for a rollout plan; the data is refreshed three times a day (5 AM, 12:30 PM, and 7 PM US Central).
