CVE-2026-50651GHSA-wp74-jgxh-gv4q

What to do

Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.win-x86 10.0.10, 9.0.18, 8.0.29; microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.win-arm64 10.0.10, 9.0.18, 8.0.29; microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.linux-musl-x64 10.0.10, 9.0.18, 8.0.29; microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.linux-arm64 10.0.10, 9.0.18, 8.0.29; microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.linux-arm 10.0.10, 9.0.18, 8.0.29; 7 more packages under Affected packages), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.win-x86, microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.win-arm64, microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.linux-musl-x64, microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.linux-arm64, microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.linux-arm, microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.osx-x64, microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.linux-x64, microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.osx-arm64, microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.linux-musl-arm, microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.win-arm, microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.linux-musl-arm64, microsoft.netcore.app.runtime.win-x64.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.
