7.8 HIGH

Local vector with user interaction (file-open pattern) aligns with PR:N trigger; full C/I/A impact justified by arbitrary code execution within process scope.

DescriptionCVE.org

Out-of-bounds write in .NET allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code locally.

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in Microsoft .NET enables local code execution across all actively supported .NET release streams (8.0, 9.0, 10.0) and associated Visual Studio tooling. The flaw requires user interaction - consistent with a file-processing or input-parsing trigger - but no elevated privileges, meaning an attacker can exploit it by inducing a user to open or process a maliciously crafted artifact within a vulnerable .NET context. …

Attack ChainAIDerived

Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata

Access
Craft malicious file exploiting heap overflow
Delivery
Deliver file via phishing or file share
Exploit
User opens file in .NET application
Execution
Heap buffer overflow corrupts runtime memory
Impact
Execute arbitrary code as current user

Vulnerability AssessmentAI

Exploitation Exploitation requires local execution context: the attacker cannot directly reach the vulnerable component over the network without a separate delivery stage. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment.
Risk Assessment The CVSS 7.8 score reflects the high C/I/A impact triad, but the local attack vector (AV:L) and required user interaction (UI:R) significantly constrain exploitability compared to a network-reachable, zero-click flaw. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in.
Exploit Scenario An attacker delivers a maliciously crafted file (such as a document, archive, or media file) to a target user via phishing or a compromised file share. When the user opens or processes the file using an application built on a vulnerable .NET runtime, the heap-based buffer overflow is triggered, corrupting heap memory. …
Remediation Vendor-released patches are available for all affected release streams. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report.

Recommended ActionAI

Within 24 hours, inventory all systems running Microsoft .NET versions 8.0, 9.0, or 10.0, and identify instances of Visual Studio tooling that may be affected; prioritize development infrastructure and high-value application servers. …
