Microsoft security update released 2025-01-14. Fixes 71 CVEs.
No exploitation is confirmed yet, but the EPSS model puts the 30-day exploitation probability for the worst CVE here at 81%, which is high enough to treat this as more urgent than its Critical label alone suggests. Attackers reverse-engineer Patch Tuesday updates within days, so the safe assumption is that exploit code follows the patch.
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. 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.

How to install KB5050006
Any of these paths delivers KB5050006; 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.
- Windows Autopatch: rings, rollout, and pause or rollback are managed for you; exploited updates can be expedited.
- WSUS / Configuration Manager: approve KB5050006 for your device groups and set a deadline.
- 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 KB5050006, ranked by exploitation.
Common questions about KB5050006
Is KB5050006 urgent?
KB5050006 is rated Critical with a maximum CVSS of 9.8. No active exploitation is confirmed yet, so schedule it in your prompt patch cycle.
How do I download KB5050006?
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 KB5050006 with Intune?
Assign a Windows Update ring (quality update policy) to the device groups and the update flows on the ring's deferral schedule. For urgent updates, Intune expedite policies can bypass the ring deferrals. Verify the rollout with update compliance reporting rather than assuming delivery.
Can I ask my own AI about KB5050006?
Yes. This page includes a free, ready-to-paste AI prompt containing KB5050006'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).
