Synopsis
The Microsoft Visual Studio Products are missing a security update.Description
The Microsoft Visual Studio Products are missing a security update. It is, therefore, affected by the following vulnerability :- A remote code execution vulnerability exists in Visual Studio software when the software fails to check the source markup of a file. An attacker who successfully exploited the vulnerability could run arbitrary code in the context of the current user. If the current user is logged on with administrative user rights, an attacker could take control of the affected system. An attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than users who operate with administrative user rights. (CVE-2019-0613)
- A vulnerability exists in certain .Net Framework API's and Visual Studio in the way they parse URL's. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could use it to bypass security logic intended to ensure that a user-provided URL belonged to a specific hostname or a subdomain of that hostname. This could be used to cause privileged communication to be made to an untrusted service as if it was a trusted service. To exploit the vulnerability, an attacker must provide a URL string to an application that attempts to verify that the URL belongs to a specific hostname or to a subdomain of that hostname. The application must then make an HTTP request to the attacker-provided URL either directly or by sending a processed version of the attacker-provided URL to a web browser.
(CVE-2019-0657)
