Microsoft Security Advisory CVE-2026-102870 - ASP.NET Core Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Executive summary

Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in the Blazor WebAssembly debugger included in Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.WebAssembly.Server. This advisory also provides guidance on what developers can do to update their applications to remove this vulnerability.

The Blazor WebAssembly debug proxy evaluates debugger expressions by generating and compiling C# source. Certain values originating in the application being debugged, including ToString() results, descriptions, and class names, are embedded in that generated source without consistent escaping. An attacker-controlled value can escape the generated string literal and execute code on a developer's machine when the developer evaluates an expression during debugging.
