Adobe Doubles Security Patch Cadence to 2 Tuesdays a Month Starting July 14

Summary
July 14 marks Adobe’s shift to twice-monthly security bulletins, adding a fourth-Tuesday release to its long-running second-Tuesday patch schedule for CVE fixes requiring customer action.
Adobe said the faster cadence is needed because vulnerability discovery and exploitation are accelerating, with frontier AI increasing the volume of flaws and making a once-a-month window too slow.
June 30 already previewed that pressure: Adobe issued two out-of-cycle advisories for critical vulnerabilities on the month’s fifth Tuesday, outside its normal schedule.
Oracle has already moved from quarterly to monthly patches, and Microsoft also pushed an out-of-sequence fix in April, underscoring a broader industry shift toward faster remediation.
