Vulnerability from github – Published: 2026-06-19 20:46 – Updated: 2026-06-19 20:46

Summary

CoreWCF: Pre-authentication infinite-loop CPU exhaustion in CoreWCF net.tcp / net.pipe / net.uds framing handshake

Details

Impact

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

Severity

7.5 (High)

CVE-2026-54772 (GCVE-0-2026-54772)

Vulnerability from cvelistv5 – Published: 2026-07-08 22:06 – Updated: 2026-07-09 14:19

Title

CoreWCF: Pre-authentication infinite-loop CPU exhaustion in CoreWCF net.tcp / net.pipe / net.uds framing handshake

Summary

CoreWCF is a port of the service side of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) to .NET Core. Prior to 1.8.1 and 1.9.1, an unauthenticated remote attacker that can reach a NetTcpBinding, NetNamedPipeBinding, or UnixDomainSocketBinding endpoint can trigger premature EOF handling in the CoreWCF net.tcp, net.pipe, or net.uds framing handshake and pin one server thread-pool worker at full CPU per connection. This issue is fixed in versions 1.8.1 and 1.9.1.

Severity

7.5 (High)
