Summary
Microsoft .NET 8.0, 9.0 and 10.0 runtimes and Visual Studio 2022 version 17.14 and Visual Studio 2026 version 18.10 are affected, from 8.0.0 before 8.0.132, from 9.0.0 before 9.0.319, from 10.0.0 before 10.0.113, from 17.14.0 before 17.14.42 and from 18.10.0 before 18.10.4. .NET includes functionality from an untrusted control sphere (CWE-829). An unauthorized remote attacker can execute code over a network, but the attack is hard to carry out and needs user interaction.
