    Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in .NET allows an authorized attacker to
    elevate privileges locally. (CVE-2025-55247)

    Inadequate encryption strength in .NET, .NET Framework, Visual Studio allows an authorized attacker to
    disclose information over a network. (CVE-2025-55248)

    Inconsistent interpretation of http requests ('http request/response smuggling') in ASP.NET Core allows an
    authorized attacker to bypass a security feature over a network. (CVE-2025-55315)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.
