Security Update for .NET Core SDK (November 2023)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 185958

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by multiple Microsoft .NET Core SDK vulnerabilities.

Description

The version of Microsoft .NET Core SDK installed on the remote host is 6.0.x prior to 6.0.125, 6.0.x prior to 6.0.320, 6.0.x prior to 6.0.417, 7.0.x prior to 7.0.114, 7.0.x prior to 7.0.311, 7.0.x prior to 7.0.404, or 8.0.x to 8.0.100. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:

- An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in .NET where untrusted URIs provided to System.Net.WebRequest.Create can be used to inject arbitrary commands to backend FTP servers.
(CVE-2023-36049)
- A security feature bypass vulnerability exists in ASP.NET where an unauthenticated user is able to bypass validation on Blazor server forms which could trigger unintended actions.(CVE-2023-36558)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update .NET Core SDK, remove vulnerable packages and refer to 5032883 and 5032884.
