AI Analysis

Impact

Integer overflow or wraparound in the .NET runtime allows an attacker who can execute code locally to gain higher privileges than intended. The flaw falls under CWE‑190, which involves incorrect integer arithmetic leading to security violations. As a result, a local attacker could increase their privilege level, potentially accessing or modifying protected resources on the affected system.

Affected Systems

The vulnerability affects Microsoft .NET 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0. All applications that run on these runtime versions are potentially impacted, including server‑side services, desktop applications, and background processes that rely on the .NET framework.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.8 indicates a moderate to high severity. Because the flaw is local, an attacker would need access to the machine to exploit it, but once on the system the impact is significant. The EPSS score is not available, and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting no widely known exploits yet. Nonetheless, the potential for privilege escalation warrants prompt remediation.

Remediation

No vendor fix or workaround currently provided.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Microsoft .NET runtime update that addresses the integer overflow flaw (see the MSRC advisory).
  • Redeploy any applications built on .NET 8.0, 9.0 or 10.0 so that they use the patched runtime.
  • Restrict local execution rights for non‑admin users on machines that host .NET components, and disable unnecessary legacy application pools or services that expose the vulnerable runtime.
