Impact

Concurrent execution using shared resources with improper synchronization (a race condition) in ASP.NET Core enables an authorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network. This weakness allows a privileged user to gain higher access rights than intended, potentially compromising application integrity and confidentiality.

Affected Systems

Microsoft ASP.NET Core versions 8.0, 9.0, 10.0 and 11.0, and Microsoft Visual Studio 2022 version 17.14 and Visual Studio 2026 version 18.10 are affected. Users running any of these products must review version compatibility and updates.

Risk and Exploitability

The CVSS score of 7.5 reflects a high severity vulnerability where the attack requires an authorized user and proper network access to the application. The EPSS score is very low (<1%) and the vulnerability is not listed in CISA KEV, suggesting no widespread known exploitation yet. Based on the description, the likely attack vector is the application’s public endpoints accessed by an authorized user, exploiting timing of concurrent requests to trigger privilege escalation within the application runtime.

Remediation

No solution or workaround provided in the CVE record.

OpenCVE Recommended Actions

  • Apply the latest Microsoft security update for ASP.NET Core 8.0, 9.0, 10.0, and 11.0 and for Visual Studio 2022 17.14 and Visual Studio 2026 18.10.
  • Enforce strict role‑based access controls to limit authorized users’ privileges, ensuring only those who need elevated rights can perform sensitive actions.
  • Audit and refactor any code that uses shared resources in ASP.NET Core to introduce proper locking or synchronization mechanisms, mitigating race conditions.
  • Optionally, restrict application exposure to trusted networks or apply firewall rules to reduce the attack surface for network‑based exploitation.
