Security Update for Microsoft .NET Core SDK (May 2024)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 197080

Synopsis

The remote Windows host is affected by a Microsoft .NET Core SDK vulnerability.

Description

The version of .NET Core SDK installed on the remote host is 7.x prior to 7.0.19 or 8.x prior to 8.0.5. It is, therefore, affected by remote code execution vulnerability as referenced in the May 2024 advisory:

- A remote code execution vulnerability. An attacker can exploit this to bypass authentication and execute unauthorized arbitrary commands. (CVE-2024-30045)

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

Solution

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