Exploitation evidence

Disclosed: evidence found.
CVE published 11 Mar 2025
Detectable: no evidence on record.
No public nuclei template indexed
Weaponized: no evidence on record.
No public exploit code indexed in Metasploit or Exploit-DB
Exploited in the wildExploited: no evidence on record.
Not in CISA KEV and no source reports exploitation
Observed by OffSeq MirageSeen by Mirage: no evidence on record.
No attack traffic recorded by OffSeq Mirage sensors

A missing step is not evidence of safety. Sources: cve.org (opens in a new tab), the Metasploit, Exploit-DB and nuclei-templates index as of 5 Nov 2026.

Disclosed: The CVE record is public on cve.org. Its publication is t = 0.
Detectable: A public nuclei template can find exposed instances, for defenders and attackers alike.
Weaponized: A Metasploit exploit module or Exploit-DB entry exists (Metasploit scanner modules do not count), or CISA SSVC or the CVSS exploit maturity reports a public proof of concept.
Exploited in the wild: CISA KEV lists it, CISA SSVC rates exploitation active, or a source reports attacks.
Observed by OffSeq Mirage: OffSeq Mirage honeypot sensors recorded attack traffic for this CVE, or found exposed hosts without attack traffic.

Moments are spaced evenly, not to scale; a dashed line marks a gap of six months or more. Deltas count from t = 0. Sources that give only a date (CISA KEV, Exploit-DB, or a time of exactly 00:00Z) read “same day” rather than hours. Metasploit modules carry the flaw’s disclosure date, not their release date, and nuclei templates carry no date, so both appear above but not on the timeline.

What to do

AI-suggested

Red Hat has released fixed versions of .NET SDK (8.0.114) and .NET Runtime (8.0.14) that address this vulnerability. Users should apply these updates promptly to remediate the issue. Detailed update instructions are available from Red Hat's advisory and knowledge base articles. No additional mitigation steps are indicated beyond applying the official patches.

Description

.NET 8.0 for Red Hat Enterprise Linux contains a privilege escalation vulnerability in the SignInManager.RefreshSignInAsync method. This security flaw allows an attacker to gain elevated privileges. Red Hat has released updated versions of the .NET SDK (8.0.114) and .NET Runtime (8.0.14) to address this issue. The update is rated as important by Red Hat Product Security. Users of affected Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 variants should apply the update to mitigate the vulnerability.

Impact

The vulnerability enables privilege escalation, which can allow an attacker with limited access to gain higher privileges on the affected system. This can lead to unauthorized actions and compromise of system integrity. The issue affects .NET 8.0 implementations on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 and related variants. No evidence of exploitation in the wild is reported.

Summary

A privilege escalation vulnerability (CVE-2025-24070) exists in the .NET SignInManager.RefreshSignInAsync method within .NET 8.0 on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9. This vulnerability could allow an attacker to escalate privileges improperly. Red Hat has issued security updates in .NET SDK 8.0.114 and .NET Runtime 8.0.14 that fix this issue. The advisory rates the security impact as important and provides updated packages for various Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 architectures and variants. No public exploit or CVSS score is provided in the advisory, but the severity is assessed as high based on the nature of the vulnerability.

Class weaknessLikelihood of exploit: MediumOWASP Top 10 A06:2025: Insecure Design (opens in a new tab)
The product does not properly assign, modify, track, or check privileges for an actor, creating an unintended sphere of control for that actor.
MITRE discourages mapping vulnerabilities to this broad entry; the root cause is usually a more specific weakness.
Architecture and Design · Operation
Very carefully manage the setting, management, and handling of privileges. Explicitly manage trust zones in the software.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Follow the principle of least privilege when assigning access rights to entities in a software system.
Architecture and Design · Separation of Privilege
Consider following the principle of separation of privilege. Require multiple conditions to be met before permitting access to a system resource.
