KB5065429 is a High security update for Windows Server 2022, released 2025-10-14. It closes 49 CVEs with a maximum CVSS of 8.8. The most likely of them to be attacked is CVE-2025-59290, which FIRST.org rates at 20% probability of exploitation in the next 30 days.
Update summary
Fixes 49 CVEs. Most severe CVSS 8.8 (High). EPSS exploit probability up to 20%. Among the top half of tracked Microsoft updates by EPSS exploit probability.
A newer security update for Windows Server 2022 has shipped since this one: KB5073695 (2026-01-13). 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.
KB5065429 is the October 14, 2025 rollup for Windows Server 2022 (including Server Core) and Windows 10 version 21H2, and it clears 49 CVEs in a single update. The highest issue rates Severity High at CVSS 8.8 with a 19 percent EPSS, and while none are on the CISA KEV list or tied to ransomware, the sheer count including multiple CVE-2025-54xxx and CVE-2025-548xx flaws means a broad attack surface across your server and client fleet.
Do this: Stage KB5065429 on a representative Server 2022 and Windows 10 21H2 host, then push it fleet-wide this patch cycle after confirming Server Core installs cleanly.
