If using a package listed in [affected packages](#affected-packages), an application is exposed to the vulnerability. ### <a name="how-fix"></a>How do I fix the issue? 1. To fix the issue please install the latest version of .NET 8.0, NET 9.0, or .NET 10.0, as appropriate. If developers have installed one or more .NET SDKs through Visual Studio, Visual Studio will prompt them to update Visual Studio, which will also update the applications's .NET SDKs. 2. If a developer's application references the vulnerable package, update the package reference to the patched version. Developers can list the versions they have installed by running the `dotnet --info` command. Once developers have installed the updated runtime or SDK, they can restart the app for the update to take effect. Additionally, if developers have deployed [self-contained applications](https://docs.microsoft.com/dotnet/core/deploying/#self-contained-deployments-scd) targeting any of the impacted versions, these applications are also vulnerable and must be recompiled and redeployed. ## Other Information ### Reporting Security Issues A potential security issue has been found in a supported version of .NET, please report it to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) via the [MSRC Researcher Portal](https://msrc.microsoft.com/report/vulnerability/new). Further information can be found in the MSRC [Report an Issue FAQ](https://www.microsoft.com/msrc/faqs-report-an-issue). Security reports made through MSRC may qualify for the Microsoft .NET Bounty. Details of the Microsoft .NET Bounty Program including terms and conditions are at https://aka.ms/corebounty. ### Support Questions about this issue can be submitted to the .NET GitHub organization. The main repos are located at https://github.com/dotnet/runtime.
