Overview
KB5053593 is a cumulative security update for Internet Explorer released on March 11, 2025. This update is specifically targeted at various Windows Server versions including Server 2008, Server 2008 R2, Server 2012, and Server 2012 R2 that are running Internet Explorer 9 and 11. The update is part of Microsoft's ongoing security maintenance for legacy systems still using Internet Explorer.
General Purpose
The primary purpose of this update is to address security vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. It includes security fixes and improvements that are also included in the March 2025 Monthly Rollup. The update is critical for maintaining the security of systems still running Internet Explorer, particularly in enterprise environments where legacy applications may require IE. The patch updates several core system files including wininet.dll, mshtml.dll, and iexplore.exe to their latest secure versions.
General Sentiment
The general sentiment towards this update appears neutral to positive. Since this is a security update for a legacy browser, it's viewed as necessary maintenance rather than a feature update. Microsoft strongly recommends upgrading to Microsoft Edge for modern web browsing, but recognizes that some enterprise systems still require Internet Explorer support. The update seems to be straightforward with no major reported issues or concerns from the user base.
