Update summary
Fixes 34 CVEs. At least one is actively exploited (CISA KEV). Most severe CVSS 8.8 (High). EPSS exploit probability up to 40%. Among the top 25% of tracked Microsoft updates by EPSS exploit probability.
A newer security update for Windows Server 2022 has shipped since this one: KB5126655 (2026-10-13). For cumulative update families the newer package includes these fixes, so installing that one is usually the shorter path. Verify against your own update rings before you skip this package.
KB5051979 is the March 11, 2025 rollup for Windows 10 1809 and Windows Server 2019, fixing 34 CVEs with a top Severity of High (CVSS 8.8). One of these CVEs is listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, meaning active exploitation has been confirmed in the wild, though none are tied to known ransomware campaigns. The highest EPSS in the set is 24 percent, so the exploitation risk is concentrated in the KEV-listed flaw rather than spread evenly.
Do this: Deploy KB5051979 to all Windows 10 1809 and Server 2019 hosts now, prioritizing internet-facing and domain controller systems given the confirmed KEV entry.
