Zero-Day IT patches come from Microsoft. The new CVE 2022-22047 Windows oDay is just one more example of why all MSPs in Atlanta Ga should perform regular preventive maintenance on their clients’ networks. However, this particular zero-day IT patch affects almost all windows users, including Windows 7, 8.2, 10, 11, and Windows Server 2008, 2012, 2016, and 2022.
What is Patch Tuesday?
Patch Tuesday happens on the second Tuesday of every month (and sometimes on the fourth). At this time, Microsoft, Adobe, and Oracle release new patches and updates to protect against new vulnerabilities. Zero-Day exposures should be addressed immediately because more and more hackers will seek to exploit them as each day passes.
What is a Zero-Day IT Patch?
Zero-day patches are patches that must be applied immediately because the days between the discovery of the first attack are the same as when it was discovered. Therefore, the term “zero-day” refers to the vulnerability themselves because they are quickly publicized on the dark web for all hackers to exploit.
What is Different About the CVE 2022-22047 Windows 0Day Zero-Day Announcement?
The CVE 2022-22047 Windows 0Day Zero Day IT Patch rates a 7.8 by Microsoft on the Common Vulnerability Scoring Systems (CVSS). This score is high but not critical because it can only be executed locally and gives the attacker system privileges. Some people disagree with the CVSS rating on this patch because it could provide complete control of a Windows Endpoint if paired with another attack.
Your MSP Responsibilities
Every software application has weaknesses, and it is only a matter of time before bad actors discover them.

Your MSP should address the CVE 2022-2047 Windows Zero Day IT patch NOW. Not tomorrow or next week. They need to do it now if they haven’t already!
