July's Patch Tuesday is here with patches for 53 CVEs and the standard roll up of patches for critical remote code execution vulnerabilities in Adobe Flash. Of those 53 CVEs patched, 17 are rated "Critical", 34 are rated "Important" and one each are rated "Moderate" and "Low". The Microsoft Scripting Engine continues to get pummeled this month with remote code execution vulnerabilities in the engine representing 10 of the 17 "Critical" patches. The other seven patches are for the Microsoft Edge web browser and the Powershell Editor Service. Since these are all typically considered client side software, these vulnerabilities will affect your desktops more than servers. Make sure the client systems you are responsible for are set for automatic updates.

Vulnerabilities in the Scripting Engine make more appearances under the list of "Important" patches as well as other client side software like Skype for Business/Lync, Microsoft Office, Internet Explorer, Edge and Wordpad. On the server side of that list you'll find the .NET framework, Microsoft SharePoint. and Windows FTP Server. Finally there are plenty of vulnerabilities in the Windows OS itself that will affect every platform so make sure you get these patches in place as soon as possible.
