1) Improper input validation
EUVDB-ID: #VU11027
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 7.7 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-0808
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists due to an error in ASP.NET Core when handling malicious web requests. A remote attacker can issue specially crafted requests to the .NET Core application and cause a denial of service against an ASP.NET Core web application.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.

2) Privilege escalation
EUVDB-ID: #VU11028
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-0787
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain elevated privileges on the target system.
The weakness exists due to improper validation of web requests by a Kestrel web application. A remote attacker can send a specially crafted request, containing injected HTML, initiate a "password reset" email to the target user, trigger as soon as the target user opens the "password reset" e-mail and gain system privileges.

3) Improper input validation
EUVDB-ID: #VU11030
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2018-0875
CWE-ID:
CWE-20 - Improper input validation
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to cause DoS condition on the target system.
The weakness exists in the way that .NET Core handles specially crafted requests. A remote attacker can send a small number of specially crafted requests to an .NET Core web application, trigger a hash collision and cause performance to degrade significantly enough to cause service crash.
