A list of the updates can be found on this Microsoft website. I have pulled out the details below. Since March 2021, yes, Microsoft has been integrating Servicing Stack Updates (SSUs) for newer Windows 10 builds into the cumulative update. The description of the fixes in the June 14, 2022 security updates is extremely brief. Those looking for details on the fixes will have to check the descriptions of the preview updates from previous weeks (see also the list of posts linked at the end of the article).
Updates for Windows 10 Version 20H2-21H2
For the Windows 10 versions mentioned above, Microsoft provides only one update package, which is mentioned below.
Update KB5015807 für Windows 10 Version 20H2 – 21H2
Cumulative udate KB5015807 raises the OS build to 19042.1826 for Windows Server version 20H2, 19043.1826 for Windows 10 version 21H1, and 19044.1826 for Windows 10 version 21H2. The update contains only security fixes, but no new OS features – with Microsoft providing the following details:
- Addresses security issues for your Windows operating system.
- Addresses an issue that redirects the PowerShell command output so that transcript logs do not contain any content. Transcript logs might contain decrypted passwords if you turn PowerShell logging on. Consequently, the transcript logs lose the decrypted passwords.
Microsoft notes that this update makes quality improvements to the servicing stack (is responsible for Microsoft updates). This update is automatically downloaded and installed by Windows Update, but is also available from the Microsoft Update Catalog and via WSUS and WUfB. Note the installation sequence described in the support article and also the notes on further requirements. Microsoft states various known issues for the update in the support article.

Also for this Windows 10 version, which only receives updates for Enterprise LTSC and IoT Enterprise LTSC (the rest of the variants are out of the security update supply on May 11, 2021), Microsoft gives the following security fix.
