Descriptions

Untrusted search path in .NET and Visual Studio allows an unauthorized attacker to execute code over a network.

A remote code execution vulnerability in .NET 8.0 and 9.0. An attacker who can place malicious files in specific locations may trigger unintended code execution when the .NET runtime loads these files.

It was discovered that .NET did not properly validate search path in Microsoft.NETCore.App.Runtime. An attacker could possibly use this issue to execute arbitrary code.
