Summary

Microsoft Security Advisory CVE-2026-96222 - .NET Spoofing Vulnerability

Details

Executive summary

Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in System.Security.Cryptography.Xml. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to remove this vulnerability.

KeyInfoX509Data can accept serialized certificate formats containing attacker-controlled chain metadata instead of requiring a plain X.509 certificate, contributing to certificate-forgery and token-spoofing paths.

Advisory FAQ

How do I know if I am affected?

If using a package listed in affected packages, you're exposed to the vulnerability.

How do I fix the issue?

To fix the issue please install the latest version of .NET. If you have installed one or more .NET SDKs through Visual Studio, Visual Studio will prompt you to update Visual Studio, which will also update your .NET SDKs.
If your application references the vulnerable package, update the package reference to the patched version. You can list the versions you have installed by running the dotnet --info command.

Once you have installed the updated runtime or SDK, restart your apps for the update to take effect.

Additionally, if you've deployed self-contained applications targeting any of the impacted versions, these applications are also vulnerable and must be recompiled and redeployed.

Other Information

Reporting Security Issues

If you have found a potential security issue in a supported version of .NET, please report it to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) via the MSRC Researcher Portal. Further information can be found in the MSRC Report an Issue FAQ.

Security reports made through MSRC may qualify for the Microsoft .NET Bounty. Details of the Microsoft .NET Bounty Program including terms and conditions are at https://aka.ms/corebounty.
