Improper limitation of a pathname to a restricted directory ('path traversal') in .NET allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.

PT OCT 2026 - .NET Core, SDK, and ASP.NET Core

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

  - Out-of-bounds write in .NET allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
    (CVE-2026-96235)

  - Uncontrolled recursion in .NET allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network.
    (CVE-2026-58280)

  - Insertion of sensitive information into sent data in .NET allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose
    information over a network. (CVE-2026-66822)

  - Inefficient algorithmic complexity in .NET allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network.
    (CVE-2026-69651)

  - Out-of-bounds write in .NET Framework allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.
    (CVE-2026-70007)

The Microsoft Visual Studio Products are missing security updates. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities:

  - Heap-based buffer overflow in Microsoft QUIC allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over     a network. (CVE-2026-105016)

  - Inconsistent interpretation of http requests ('http request/response smuggling') in ASP.NET Core     allows an unauthorized attacker to perform tampering over a network. (CVE-2026-88092)

  - Inconsistent interpretation of http requests ('http request/response smuggling') in ASP.NET Core     allows an unauthorized attacker to bypass a security feature over a network. (CVE-2026-70188)

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