Senserva AI Opinion for KB5041081

This July 2024 update covers .NET 6.0, .NET 8.0, and Visual Studio 2022 17.4, fixing three CVEs at a High, CVSS 8.1 ceiling. Applications built on these .NET runtimes inherit the exposure until the runtime itself is updated on the host, not just the SDK on developer machines. EPSS is 3 percent with no KEV or ransomware linkage.

Do this: Update both the .NET 6.0/8.0 runtimes on hosting servers and Visual Studio 2022 17.4 with KB5041081.
