description

ASP.NET Core Minimal API validation in affected .NET 11 release-candidate runtime packages and Microsoft.Extensions.Validation can consume disproportionate CPU while handling crafted validation input. An unauthenticated remote attacker can use this behavior to degrade application availability. Exploitation requires an exposed Minimal API endpoint that performs the affected validation.

mitigation

Upgrade the applicable ASP.NET Core runtime or Microsoft.Extensions.Validation package to 11.0.0, then restart affected applications. Rebuild and redeploy self-contained applications so their embedded runtime is updated.

fixed in 11.0.0
