MSRC-PatchReview

A PowerShell variant of the amazing patch_review.py by kevthehermit

Usage

To get a report for the current month, just run the script without any additional parameters

$ .\patch_review.ps1

If you want to define the reporting month use YYYY-MMM (2025-Mar) or YYYY-MM (2025-03) format

$ .\patch_review.ps1 2025-05

Change output format

Default is human-readable which will write the output similat to the original python script to stdout. But if you would like to use the data in any way after the script is run you can use either json or psobject.

$ .\patch_review.ps1 2025-05 -Output json

$ .\patch_review.ps1 2025-05 -Output psobject

$ .\patch_review.ps1 2025-05 -Output markdown

Change CVE Url

By default the MSRC Url is used for the links but you can change it to CVE.org if you like.

$ .\patch_review.ps1 2025-05 -CVELink CVE.org

Change CVE BaseScore

The highest rated CVEs are by default all CVEs above 8.0. This can be changed easily to fit your needs.

$ .\patch_review.ps1 2025-05 -BaseScore 9
