Microsoft Security Advisory CVE-2024-21319: .NET Denial of Service Vulnerability
Executive summary
Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in the ASP.NET Core project templates. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to address this vulnerability.
A Denial of Service vulnerability exists in ASP.NET Core project templates which utilize JWT-based authentication tokens. This vulnerability allows an unauthenticated client to consume arbitrarily large amounts of server memory, potentially triggering an out-of-memory condition on the server and making the server no longer able to respond to legitimate requests.
Announcement
Announcement for this issue can be found at https://github.com/dotnet/announcements/issues/290
Mitigation factors
This impacts only .NET Core-based projects that were created using any version of project templates listed in affected software. Other project templates e.g., console applications, MAUI applications, Windows Forms or WPF applications, are not affected.
Affected software
This impacts only .NET Core-based projects that were created using any version of the below project templates.
- ASP.NET Core Web App (Model-View-Controller)
- ASP.NET Core Web API
- ASP.NET Core Web App (Razor Pages)
- Blazor Server App
- Blazor WebAssembly App
Advisory FAQ
How do I know if I am affected?
If you are you using project templates listed in affected software, you may be exposed to the vulnerability.
How do I fix the issue?
For existing projects:
If you ever created any of these projects via the dotnet new command or via Visual Studio's File -> New Project gesture, and if you enabled federated authentication at project creation time, your project may be vulnerable. To remediate the vulnerability, use your package manager to update any references you may have to the Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.OpenIdConnect, and Microsoft.IdentityModel.JsonWebTokens packages to their respective latest versions. - Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.JwtBearer - Microsoft.AspNetCore.Authentication.OpenIdConnect
If your project does not reference any of those three packages, you are not exposed to this vulnerability.
For new projects:
To remediate this issue please update to the latest SDK listed below. Simply installing the SDK update is not sufficient to remediate projects already-created / already-deployed projects which existed prior to this update being released.
- To fix the issue please install the latest version of .NET 6.0 or .NET 7.0. 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 you are using one of the affected packages, please update to the patched version listed above.
- If you have .NET 6.0 or greater installed, you can list the versions you have installed by running the
dotnet --info
command. You will see output like the following;

To install additional .NET Core runtimes or SDKs: https://aka.ms/dotnet-download ```
- If you're using .NET 8.0, you should download and install .NET 8.0.101 SDK (for Visual Studio 2022 v17.8) from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/8.0.
- If you're using .NET 7.0, you should download and install .NET SDK 7.0.115 (for Visual Studio 2022 v17.4) from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/7.0.
- If you're using .NET 6.0, you should download and install .NET SDK 6.0.321 (for Visual Studio 2022 v17.2) from https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet-core/6.0.
.NET 6.0, .NET 7.0, .NET 8.0 updates are also available from Microsoft Update. To access this either type "Check for updates" in your Windows search, or open Settings, choose Update & Security and then click Check for Updates.
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.
