Improper handling of highly compressed data (data amplification) in ASP.NET Core allows an unauthorized attacker to deny service over a network.
AnalysisAI
Decompression bomb (CWE-409) in ASP.NET Core allows unauthenticated remote attackers to exhaust server resources and deny service by submitting highly compressed HTTP payloads that expand disproportionately during server-side processing. Affected releases span .NET 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0 runtimes, all corresponding ASP.NET Core versions, and Visual Studio 2022/2026 which embed affected runtimes. …

Attack ChainAIDerived
Hypothetical attack flow derived from CVE metadata
Vulnerability AssessmentAI
| Exploitation | Exploitation requires that the target application runs a vulnerable ASP.NET Core version (8.0.0-8.0.30, 9.0.0-9.0.19, 10.0.0-10.0.11, or 11.0 pre-RC1) and has decompression middleware or request-body decompression handlers active in its pipeline - the CVSS AC:H metric explicitly signals this configuration dependency. … Additional conditions and limiting factors are described in the full assessment. |
| Risk Assessment | The CVSS score of 5.9 (Medium) reflects the AC:H qualifier, indicating that exploitation depends on the target application having decompression middleware or specific request-handling paths active - not all ASP.NET Core deployments expose this surface by default. … Full risk analysis with EPSS, KEV, and SSVC signal comparison available after sign-in. |
| Exploit Scenario | Full exploit scenario with step-by-step reproduction available after sign-in. |
| Remediation | Upgrade to the patched releases: .NET and ASP.NET Core 8.0.31, 9.0.20, or 10.0.12 as appropriate for your channel, or ASP.NET Core 11.0 RC1 for pre-release deployments. … Detailed patch versions, workarounds, and compensating controls in full report. |
