CVE-2026-62902
Description
A flaw was found in .NET. This vulnerability allows an unauthorized attacker to disclose sensitive information over a network. The issue arises from the inclusion of functionality from an untrusted control sphere, which can be exploited to reveal data.
Statement
Red Hat has determined that shipped versions of .NET in Red Hat products already include the fix for this vulnerability. The .NET 8.0 (8.0.30), 9.0 (9.0.19), and 10.0 (10.0.11) runtime fix versions are included in current Red Hat packages. Furthermore, the upstream advisory identifies only Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App.Runtime (Windows Desktop) packages as vulnerable — a component not present in Red Hat's Linux .NET builds.
Mitigation
No mitigation is needed. All shipped versions of .NET in Red Hat products already contain the fix for this vulnerability.
Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) Score Details
Info alert:Important note
CVSS scores for open source components depend on vendor-specific factors (e.g. version or build chain). Therefore, Red Hat's score and impact rating can be different from NVD and other vendors. Red Hat remains the authoritative CVE Naming Authority (CNA) source for its products and services (see Red Hat classifications).

Understanding the Weakness (CWE)
Confidentiality,Integrity,Availability
Technical Impact: Execute Unauthorized Code or Commands
An attacker could insert malicious functionality into the program by causing the program to download code that the attacker has placed into the untrusted control sphere, such as a malicious web site. This could enable the injection of malware, information exposure by granting excessive privileges or permissions to the untrusted functionality, DOM-based XSS vulnerabilities, stealing user's cookies, open redirect to malware (CWE-601), etc.
