ZOMG! It's freakin Patch Tuesday again. And Microsoft has patched a staggering 167 security holes (think more people are using AI to find bugs, maybe?)
tl;dr: There's something for everyone today, like an Adobe Reader 0day that's apparently been exploited since at least November 2025; a SharePoint zero-day; and a fix for BlueHammer -- a Windows Defender bug for which there is working exploit code that no longer works if you install today's Windows updates (as per @wdormann).

Analysis Summary
This is solid cybersecurity reporting from a trusted source. The 167 patches and SharePoint zero-day are confirmed by multiple outlets. The Adobe Reader 0day exploitation timeline and BlueHammer details aren't independently corroborated in available sources, but that's typical for Patch Tuesday coverage — Krebs often has deeper technical details from direct sources. The AI speculation is reasonable given recent developments in bug-finding capabilities.
Claims Analysis (5)
“Microsoft has patched a staggering 167 security holes”
Corroborated by BleepingComputer and The Register reporting 167 flaws in April 2026 Patch Tuesday.
“Adobe Reader 0day that's apparently been exploited since at least November 2025”
No independent source in search results confirms the November 2025 exploitation timeline for the Reader 0day.
“a SharePoint zero-day”
CyberScoop confirms 'one actively exploited zero-day vulnerability in Microsoft Office SharePoint'.
“BlueHammer -- a Windows Defender bug for which there is working exploit code”
BlueHammer not mentioned in independent search results; cannot corroborate exploit existence or current status.
“more people are using AI to find bugs”
NPR reports AI models have 'gotten dramatically better at finding bugs,' with Anthropic's model finding flaws in major systems — supports the speculation but not causally linked to this specific Patch Tuesday.
