The Microsoft .NET Core installation on the remote host is version 2.1.x prior to 2.1.29, 3.1.x prior to 3.1.18, or 5.x prior to 5.0.9. It is, therefore affected by multiple vulnerabilities, as follows:

  • An information disclosure vulnerability exists when dumps created by the tool to collect crash dumps and dumps on demand are created with global read permissions on Linux and macOS. (CVE-2021-34485)

  • A denial of service vulnerability exists as server applications providing WebSocket endpoints can be tricked into endlessly looping while trying to read a single WebSocket frame. (CVE-2021-26423)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
