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 a denial of service (DoS) vulnerability, as server applications providing WebSocket endpoints can be tricked into endlessly looping while trying to read a single WebSocket frame.

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