A denial of service vulnerability exists in .NET 6.0 where a malicious client could cause a stack overflow which may result in a denial of service attack when an attacker sends an invalid request to an exposed endpoint.

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