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.
KB5082424 patches three CVEs across .NET 10.0 on macOS and Linux plus .NET 8.0, with the worst rated High severity at CVSS 7.5. The cross-platform scope is the notable part here: it covers .NET runtimes on Mac and Linux hosts, not just Windows, so your non-Windows build agents and containers are in scope. None of the three CVEs are in the CISA KEV catalog and EPSS peaks at only 2 percent, so exploitation pressure is currently low.
Do this: Inventory your Linux and macOS systems running .NET 10.0 and any .NET 8.0 hosts, then schedule the KB5082424 runtime update on those alongside your normal patch cycle.
