The Microsoft .NET Core installation on the remote host is version 3.1.x prior to 3.1.15 or 5.x prior to 5.0.6. It is, therefore, affected by a privilege elevation vulnerability. An authenticated, local attacker can exploit this to elevate their privileges.

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