Moderate severity vulnerability that affects Microsoft.AspNetCore.All, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Transport.Abstractions, and…
What to do
Vendor fix available. Upgrade each affected package to the fixed version on its release line (microsoft.aspnetcore.all 2.0.8; microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.transport.abstractions 2.0.3; microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.core 2.0.3; microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.transport.libuv 2.0.3), redeploy, then verify what is actually installed.
This page has no inventory attached, so it cannot say whether you are affected. A vendor fix is not proof that your deployment is fixed.

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-3m2r-q8x3-xmf7 Advisory: Moderate severity vulnerability that affects Microsoft.AspNetCore.All, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core, Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Transport.Abstractions, and… IDs: GHSA-3m2r-q8x3-xmf7 Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-3m2r-q8x3-xmf7 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:58 UTC) Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected. Severity: Unrated Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV. Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: microsoft.aspnetcore.all 2.0.8; microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.transport.abstractions 2.0.3; microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.core 2.0.3; microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.transport.libuv 2.0.3. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed. ## Affected components - NuGet microsoft.aspnetcore.all: affected >= 2.0.0, < 2.0.8; fixed in 2.0.8 - NuGet microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.transport.abstractions: affected >= 2.0.0, < 2.0.3; fixed in 2.0.3 - NuGet microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.core: affected >= 2.0.0, < 2.0.3; fixed in 2.0.3 - NuGet microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.transport.libuv: affected >= 2.0.0, < 2.0.3; fixed in 2.0.3 ## Suggested inspection (read-only) - NuGet microsoft.aspnetcore.all: check the installed version with your package manager. - NuGet microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.transport.abstractions: check the installed version with your package manager. - NuGet microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.core: check the installed version with your package manager. - NuGet microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.transport.libuv: check the installed version with your package manager. ## 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.aspnetcore.all, microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.transport.abstractions, microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.core, microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.transport.libuv. - 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. ## Sources - Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-3m2r-q8x3-xmf7 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-3m2r-q8x3-xmf7 lists affected ranges: NuGet microsoft.aspnetcore.server.kestrel.core >=2.0.0 =2.0.0 =2.0.0 =2.0.0 <2.0.8) Commands are suggestions: review each one before running it.
