Tyler Reguly, Associate Director of Security R&D at Fortra, was featured in a recent Dark Reading article examining Microsoft’s April 2026 Patch Tuesday update. The article breaks down the 165 vulnerabilities addressed this month, with elevation-of-privilege flaws making up the majority. Tyler provided expert insight on several of the critical and high-risk vulnerabilities, including how attackers may chain privilege escalation bugs and the significance of seeing rare remote TCP/IP vulnerabilities still emerging in 2026.

Excerpt: "It is rare that you see a truly remote TCP/IP vulnerability these days and that's exactly what CVE-2026-33827 is," Reguly said in a statement. "The attack complexity is listed as high because the vulnerability is based on a race condition as well as 'additional actions,' as Microsoft calls it, but it is still impressive to see these vulnerabilities identified in 2026."
