Overview

KB5053593 is a cumulative security update for Internet Explorer released for March 2025. This update is specifically targeted at older Windows Server versions including Server 2008, Server 2008 R2, Server 2012, and Server 2012 R2 that are using Extended Security Updates (ESU) support. The update addresses security vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer and includes the latest security fixes.

General Purpose

The primary purpose of this update is to resolve security vulnerabilities in Internet Explorer. It is part of Microsoft's ongoing security maintenance for legacy systems still running Internet Explorer 11 and Internet Explorer 9. The update includes security improvements and fixes that are also included in the March 2025 Monthly Rollup. This patch is particularly important for organizations still using Internet Explorer on Windows Server systems under Extended Security Update support.

General Sentiment

The general sentiment towards this update appears neutral to positive. As a security update for legacy systems, it's considered important for maintaining security on systems still running Internet Explorer. However, Microsoft strongly recommends upgrading to Microsoft Edge as the preferred browser solution, as Internet Explorer has reached end of support on most systems. The update is straightforward with no reported issues, though it's worth noting that this is primarily targeted at enterprise environments still maintaining legacy systems under ESU support.
