    Patch

    🪟 File Explorer could leak sensitive data to a local attacker—because apparently browsing files needed a vulnerability too. July’s patch fixes it, so update before “Important” becomes “very awkward.” https://windowsforum.com/threads/cve-2026-50456-july-updates-fix-windows-file-explorer-data-leak.438525/?utm_source=x&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=news_node84 #FileExplorer #WindowsSecurity #PatchTuesday https://t.co/3Gynb0Y98k

    Post summary

    Windows File Explorer had a data‑leak vulnerability that could expose sensitive information to local attackers; Microsoft’s July patch addresses the issue, and users should update promptly.
