Key context: Microsoft’s November release addresses one thousand ninety five vulnerabilities, including 64 rated critical and 48 critical code-execution issues.

Additional detail: For leaders, Office needs to be included in the emergency patch decision rather than hidden behind general Windows update reporting.
