Impact
The vulnerability is an uncontrolled resource consumption flaw in ASP.NET Core that allows an attacker to deplete server resources by sending malicious traffic over a network. The weakness is classified as CWE-400.
Affected Systems
Affected products include Microsoft .NET 10.0, .NET 8.0, and .NET 9.0 runtimes; ASP.NET Core 10.0, 8.0, and 9.0; and Visual Studio 2026 version 18.6. Any deployment of these frameworks or the IDE that hosts an ASP.NET Core application may be vulnerable if not patched.
Risk and Exploitability
The CVSS score of 7.5 indicates a high severity for the denial‑of‑service capability. EPSS score of 2% indicates a low but non‑zero likelihood of exploitation; the vulnerability is not listed in the CISA KEV catalog. Attackers can target the vulnerable application directly over the network by issuing crafted requests that exhaust resources, leading to complete service interruption for legitimate users.
