DescriptionCVE.org

Heap-based buffer overflow in .NET and Visual Studio allows an unauthorized attacker to elevate privileges over a network.

AnalysisAI

Heap-based buffer overflow (CWE-122) in Microsoft .NET and Visual Studio allows a network-based unauthenticated attacker to achieve privilege escalation - and given the full C:H/I:H/A:H CVSS impact, effectively arbitrary code execution - on affected systems when a user interacts with attacker-controlled content. Affected are .NET 8.0 through 11.0 RC1 and Visual Studio 2022/2026 across multiple release trains. …
