ASP.NET Core Kestrel Flaw Earns 9.9 Severity Score Now
⚠️Microsoft patched a critical ASP.NET Core vulnerability in the built‑in Kestrel web server and assigned it a CVSS score of 9.9, the highest rating the vendor has ever issued. Tracked as CVE-2025-55315, the flaw enables authenticated attackers to use HTTP request smuggling to bypass security checks and could allow actions such as logging in as another user, bypassing CSRF protections, or performing injection attacks. Microsoft advises updating affected runtimes or rebuilding and redeploying self‑contained apps, while noting that reverse proxies or gateways may already mitigate exposure.
