KB5082402: Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 on Window Security Update (April 2026)
KB5082402 is a High security update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8 on Window, released 2026-04-14. It closes 3 CVEs with a maximum CVSS of 7.5. It is the 17th largest of the 60 updates Microsoft shipped that month, by CVEs closed.
Update summary
Fixes 3 CVEs. Most severe CVSS 7.5 (High). EPSS exploit probability up to 2.1%. Among the lower half of tracked Microsoft updates by EPSS exploit probability.
KB5082402 patches three CVEs in .NET 8.0 and .NET 10.0 across Windows, Linux, and macOS installs, so this reaches your cross platform build agents and containerized services, not just Windows hosts. Highest rated at High severity (CVSS 7.5), but EPSS peaks at only 2 percent and none of the three CVEs appear in CISA KEV or are ransomware-linked. The Linux and macOS exposure is the differentiator here since those runtimes are often patched on a slower cadence than Windows.
Do this: Inventory .NET 8.0 and 10.0 runtimes on your Linux and macOS servers and CI agents, then apply the updated runtime and SDK packages there alongside your Windows fleet.
