SCA: security update for YAFNET.Core (GHSA-33gv-fc78-qgf5)

high Tenable Cloud Security Plugin ID 441226

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- YetAnotherForum.NET (YAF.NET) is a C# ASP.NET forum. Prior to 4.0.5 and 3.2.12, the application's database
logger (YAFNET.Core/Logger/DbLogger.cs) captures the incoming request's User-Agent header into a JObject,
serializes it with JsonConvert, and stores the result in the EventLog.Description column whenever an event
(e.g., an unhandled exception) is logged. The admin event-log page
(YetAnotherForum.NET/Pages/Admin/EventLog.cshtml.cs) later deserializes that JSON in FormatStackTrace()
and interpolates the UserAgent value directly into an HTML string with no encoding, and the Razor view
EventLog.cshtml emits the result through @Html.Raw. This vulnerability is fixed in 4.0.5 and 3.2.12.
(CVE-2026-43938)

Solution

Update the YAFNET.Core library and its related packages to version 3.2.12 or later.
