CVE-2026-70183: CVE-2026-70183: Elevation of Privilege in ASP.NET Core and Visual Studio via Concurrent Race Condition
CVSS Score: 7.5 Published: 2026-10-13 Full Report: https://cvereports.com/reports/CVE-2026-70183
An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists in ASP.NET Core and Microsoft Visual Studio due to improper synchronization during concurrent thread execution. Authenticated remote attackers with low privileges can exploit a timing window to manipulate shared resources and assume higher-level execution contexts.
A race condition in ASP.NET Core allows authenticated low-privilege remote users to elevate privileges by sending high-frequency concurrent requests that hit unsynchronized shared memory structures.

- Apply vendor security patches for ASP.NET Core and Microsoft Visual Studio immediately.
- Implement rate limiting and concurrency throttling on sensitive stateful API endpoints.
- Enforce CI/CD package dependency scanning using dotnet list package --vulnerable.
Remediation Steps:
- Identify all deployed ASP.NET Core runtime instances and Visual Studio development systems.
- Upgrade ASP.NET Core packages to fixed versions: 8.0.32, 9.0.21, 10.0.13, or 11.0.0-rc.2.
- Update Visual Studio 2022 to 17.14.42 or higher, and Visual Studio 2026 to 18.10.4 or higher.
- Recompile and redeploy affected ASP.NET Core applications across staging and production environments.
