CVE-2024-29059
Microsoft
CVE-2024-29059, a .NET Framework Information Disclosure Vulnerability, could allow attackers to gain unauthorized access to sensitive data. This vulnerability, with a CVSS score of 7.5, poses a moderate risk. However, SOCRadar's Vulnerability Risk Score (SVRS) of 73 indicates a heightened level of concern due to real-world exploitability. Although the SVRS is slightly below the critical threshold of 80, the presence of active exploits 'In The Wild' means immediate action is still advised. Successful exploitation could lead to the exposure of confidential information, potentially causing significant security breaches and compliance issues. This CVE is especially concerning because active exploits exist, making it easier for attackers to leverage this vulnerability. Organizations using the .NET Framework should prioritize patching this vulnerability to mitigate potential risks.
Description
CVE-2024-29059 is a .NET Framework vulnerability that allows an attacker to disclose sensitive information. The vulnerability exists in the way that the .NET Framework handles certain types of requests.
