• •Critical vulnerabilities in .NET allow for privilege escalation and denial of service.
• •CVE-2026-47300, CVE-2026-47302, and CVE-2026-47304 are among the key issues identified.
• •Users are urged to update their systems to the latest versions to mitigate risks.

Multiple vulnerabilities in .NET were disclosed, affecting various versions and leading to potential privilege escalation and denial of service (DoS) attacks. Key issues include improper validation of authentication data (CVE-2026-47300), inadequate handling of XML encryption (CVE-2026-47302), and failure to verify cryptographic signatures (CVE-2026-47304). These vulnerabilities allow attackers to bypass security measures, consume excessive resources, and elevate privileges. The flaws were discovered by researchers Artur Stetsko, Levi Broderick, and Pham Quang Minh. Affected systems include Ubuntu 26.04 LTS and earlier versions. Users are advised to update their systems to mitigate these risks. The vulnerabilities were published on July 14, 2026, and are considered critical due to their potential impact.
