GHSA-P86G-XRR2-PF7C
Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-19 20:46 – Updated: 2026-06-19 20:46Impact
An unauthenticated remote attacker can pin one server thread‑pool worker at 100 % CPU per connection. With a few connections, the CPU usage can be exhausted.
Preconditions
An attacker being able to reach a service which is exposing an endpoint using one of NetTcpBinding, NetNamedPipeBinding, or UnixDomainSocketBinding.
Patches
Fixed in CoreWCF v1.8.1 and v1.9.1
Workarounds
None
