Saner CVEM PM Recommendation:

Since this is a known vendor-side issue, we recommend excluding KB2267602 from the Patch Management module in Saner CVEM. This prevents recurring patch failures and ensures other patches are applied successfully without disruption.

Action Required:

• Exclude KB2267602 from your patch management policy in Saner CVEM.

• Continue monitoring other critical and high-severity updates through the platform.
  
  

Notes:

• No action is needed on Saner CVEM itself; this behavior is related to Microsoft Defender definition updates.

• Excluding this patch does not compromise endpoint security, as Microsoft Defender will continue receiving definition updates automatically.
