Senserva AI Opinion for CVE-2024-29059

The .NET Framework leaks ObjRef URIs through this information disclosure flaw, and that leaked remoting reference is the stepping stone to full remote code execution. Because the framework underpins countless line-of-business applications on Windows, exposure is broad and often invisible to application-level inventories. CISA confirmed active exploitation with its 2025-02-04 KEV entry.

Do this: Deploy the .NET Framework security update through Windows Update across all servers and workstations, starting with internet-facing application hosts.
