## Executive Summary: Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in .NET 8.0, .NET 9.0, and .NET 10.0. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to remove this vulnerability. A tampering vulnerability exists when .NET Core improperly handles specially crafted files. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could write arbitrary files and directories to certain locations on a vulnerable system. However, an attacker would have limited control over the destination of the files and directories. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker must send a specially crafted file to a vulnerable system. The security update fixes the vulnerability by ensuring .NET Core properly handles files. ## Announcement Announcement for this issue can be found at https://github.com/dotnet/announcements/issues/396 ## CVSS Details - **Version:** 3.1 - **Severity:** - **Score:** 4.3 - **Vector:** /AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N - **Weakness:** CWE-36: Absolute Path Traversal ## Affected Platforms - **Platforms:** Windows - **Architectures:** All ## <a name="affected-packages"></a>Affected Packages The vulnerability affects any Microsoft .NET project if it uses any of affected package versions listed below ### <a name=".NET 10"></a>.NET 10 Package name | Affected version | Patched version ------------ | ---------------- | ------------------------- [Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-arm](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-arm) | >= 10.0.0, <= 10.0.7 | 10.0.8 [Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64) | >= 10.0.0, <= 10.0.7 | 10.0.8 [Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-x64](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-x64) | >= 10.0.0, <= 10.0.7 | 10.0.8 [Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-x86](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-x86) | >= 10.0.0, <= 10.0.7 | 10.0.8 ### <a name=".NET 9"></a>.NET 9 Package name | Affected version | Patched version ------------ | ---------------- | ------------------------- [Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-arm](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-arm) | >= 9.0.0, <= 9.0.15 | 9.0.16 [Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64) | >= 9.0.0, <= 9.0.15 | 9.0.16 [Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-x64](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-x64) | >= 9.0.0, <= 9.0.15 | 9.0.16 [Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-x86](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-x86) | >= 9.0.0, <= 9.0.15 | 9.0.16 ### <a name=".NET 8"></a>.NET 8 Package name | Affected version | Patched version ------------ | ---------------- | ------------------------- [Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-arm](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-arm) | >= 8.0.0, <= 8.0.26 | 8.0.27 [Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-arm64) | >= 8.0.0, <= 8.0.26 | 8.0.27 [Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-x64](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-x64) | >= 8.0.0, <= 8.0.26 | 8.0.27 [Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-x86](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.NetCore.App.Runtime.win-x86) | >= 8.0.0, <= 8.0.26 | 8.0.27 ## Advisory FAQ ### <a name="how-affected"></a>How do I know if I am affected?

AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in nuget. A high vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.

If using a package listed in [affected packages](#affected-packages), a developer's application is exposed to the vulnerability. ### <a name="how-fix"></a>How do I fix the issue? 1. To fix the issue please install the latest version of .NET 8.0, NET 9.0, or .NET 10.0, as appropriate. If developers have installed one or more .NET SDKs through Visual Studio, Visual Studio will prompt them to update Visual Studio, which will also update their .NET SDKs. 2. If a developer's application references the vulnerable package, update the package reference to the patched version. Developers can list the versions they have installed by running the `dotnet --info` command. Once developers have installed the updated runtime or SDK, they can restart their apps for the update to take effect. Additionally, if they've deployed [self-contained applications](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/deploying/#self-contained-deployments-scd) targeting any of the impacted versions, these applications are also vulnerable and must be recompiled and redeployed. ## Other Information ### Reporting Security Issues If someone has found a potential security issue in a supported version of .NET, please report it to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) via the [MSRC Researcher Portal](https://msrc.microsoft.com/report/vulnerability/new). Further information can be found in the MSRC [Report an Issue FAQ](https://www.microsoft.com/msrc/faqs-report-an-issue). Security reports made through MSRC may qualify for the Microsoft .NET Bounty. Details of the Microsoft .NET Bounty Program including terms and conditions are at https://aka.ms/corebounty. ### Support Questions about this issue can be directed to the .NET GitHub organization. The main repos are located at https://github.com/dotnet/runtime. The Announcements repo (https://github.com/dotnet/Announcements) will contain this bulletin as an issue and will include a link to a discussion issue. Questions should be submitted to the linked discussion issue. ### Disclaimer The information provided in this advisory is provided "as is" without warranty of any kind.

AI coding agents often install or upgrade packages automatically in nuget. A high vulnerability in a dependency can be pulled into a project through a normal install or update without a human reviewing the change, expanding the blast radius from a single package to every agent workspace that depends on it.
