CVE-2026-70165
MediumCVSS 6.7Exploitation Probability (EPSS)
Low risk28th percentile - higher than 28% of all known CVEs
Summary
Improper link resolution before file access ('link following') in .NET allows an authorized attacker to elevate privileges locally.
Risk Assessment
An attacker may gain elevated privileges, potentially leading to full system compromise.
Recommendation
Apply .NET security fixes related to file link handling.
