CVE-2026-96234: .NET Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Noroxi assessment

Priority: Monitor (action score 21/100)

  • The sources we track (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, Metasploit, Nuclei, GitHub) show no public exploit code or exploitation in the wild.
  • Probability of exploitation in the next 30 days: 0.32% (FIRST EPSS).
  • Anyone who can reach it over the internet can trigger it. No account or password is required. A user must open a link or visit a page. Special conditions such as timing or configuration are required.
  • Fixed version: .NET 10.0 runtime installed on Windows 10.0.13; .NET 11.0 runtime installed on Windows 11.0.0-rc.2; .NET 8.0 runtime installed on Windows 8.0.32.

Low priority for now. Upgrade to .NET 10.0 runtime installed on Windows 10.0.13; .NET 11.0 runtime installed on Windows 11.0.0-rc.2; .NET 8.0 runtime installed on Windows 8.0.32 or later.
