Summary
May 2024 Patch Tuesday landed light at 61 fixes, weighted toward privilege escalation rather than remote code execution. That mix matters because most compromises now start with a phished user. Flaws like CVE-2024-30033 (Windows Search Service) and CVE-2024-30018 (Windows kernel) are the second link in an exploit chain that turns a single user into full system or server control. Mat Lee and Jason Kikta also flagged CVE-2024-4671, a known-exploited Chrome use-after-free that can chain into a sandbox escape, and macOS Sonoma 14.5 memory and code-signing fixes that signal Apple is drawing more research scrutiny.
