Packages

Details

It was discovered that the .NET Blazor WebAssembly debug proxy did not
properly escape certain values. An attacker could possibly use this issue
to execute arbitrary code. The fix for this CVE was originally released via
USN-8942-1, but it was found to be incomplete. This issue only affected
dotnet10 and dotnet11. (CVE-2026-102870)

It was discovered that the Brotli decompression library used by .NET
incorrectly handled certain compressed streams. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2026-111497)

Alen Cheung discovered that .NET did not properly handle file ownership in
certain circumstances. An attacker could possibly use this issue to elevate
local privileges. (CVE-2026-114148)
