Update summary
Fixes 3 CVEs. Most severe CVSS 7.8 (High). EPSS exploit probability up to 2.4%. Among the top half of tracked Microsoft updates by EPSS exploit probability.
A newer security update for .NET 10.0 installed on Windows has shipped since this one: KB5100984 (2026-07-14). For cumulative update families the newer package includes these fixes, so installing that one is usually the shorter path. Verify against your own update rings before you skip this package.
KB5097148 patches three CVEs across .NET 8.0, 9.0, and 10.0 on Windows, with the most serious rated High Severity at CVSS 7.8. Any server or workstation running applications built on these three .NET runtimes is in scope, which typically spans a broad mix of internal line of business apps and web services. Exploitation likelihood is currently low (EPSS 2 percent, no CISA KEV listing and no ransomware association), so this is a plan and schedule fix rather than an emergency.
Do this: Inventory which hosts run .NET 8.0, 9.0, or 10.0 and roll out KB5097148 during your next maintenance window, prioritizing internet facing app servers.
