Security Update for Microsoft ASP.NET Core (July 2019)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 126601

Synopsis

The Microsoft ASP.NET Core installations on the remote host contain vulnerable packages.

Description

The Microsoft ASP.NET Core installation on the remote host is version 2.1.x < 2.1.12, 2.2.x < 2.2.6.
It is, therefore, affected by a spoofing vulnerability that could lead to an open redirect.
An unauthenticated, remote attacker could exploit this issue, via a link that has a specially crafted URL, and convince the user to click the link that will redirect a targeted user to a malicious website

Solution

Update ASP.NET Core, remove vulnerable packages and refer to vendor advisory.
