Microsoft .NET Framework Information Disclosure Vulnerability

Microsoft · .NET Framework

CVSS 7.5 EPSS 99% no public exploit indexed Fix deadline passed 25 February 2025

What it is

Microsoft .NET Framework contains an information disclosure vulnerability that exposes the ObjRef URI to an attacker, ultimately enabling remote code execution.

Why we say that

  • EPSS puts exploitation in the next 30 days at 99%
  • CISA's federal remediation deadline (2025-02-25) has passed
  • Listed in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalogue

Every line above comes from a named public source. Where the evidence is thin, we say so rather than inventing confidence — see methodology.

What to do

Apply mitigations per vendor instructions or discontinue use of the product if mitigations are unavailable.
