CVE-2026-69304 opens in ASP.NET Core; caching and validation APIs shift

By RepoJournal · Filed · About .NET

Microsoft issued a security advisory for an ASP.NET Core denial of service vulnerability, while new PRs stop request reordering in output caching and replace the validation message formatter.

Microsoft published CVE-2026-69304, a denial of service vulnerability in ASP.NET Core. Apply the advisory's update before your next deploy. [1]

Output and response caching no longer sort headers and query parameters when calculating the cache key. A cache-entry lookup used to depend on sorted values, which reordered requests on a miss or collision. The change stops that sorting, preserving original order in the key. [2] Also, the minimal-API validation message formatter interface `IValidationMessageFormatter` is dropped in favor of the base class method `ValidationAttribute.FormatMessage` now in the BCL. The interface's purpose is superseded, so code using `IValidationMessageFormatter` must migrate to the new BCL API. [3]

In Blazor, `Microsoft.AspNetCore.Components.AI` now ships through the standard ASP.NET Core release cadence while retaining independent `0.x` versioning. Previously it was not part of the standard release process. [4]

On the F# side, `parallelLimit`, `parallelDoLimit`, `sequential`, `sequentialDo` are added to `Async` and `Task` modules, and `Task.startAsyncImmediate` is added. These implement proposed helpers that were missing for controlling concurrency in async and task workflows. [5] A compiler micro-optimization inlines free-variable type-parameter folds, removing per-call partial-application closures in one of the hottest traversals, which should reduce allocation during type checking. [6]

In `dotnet/skills`, the MSTest migration skill now covers NUnit 3/4, classifying all 48 attributes in NUnit's official index, and static source-to-test pairing expands to Kotlin, Swift, PowerShell, and C++. These changes keep test projects from silently changing framework behavior during migration and broaden generated-test coverage to those languages. [7] [8]

The MAUI performance harness now pins NuGet configs consistently across commit discovery and workload installation. Previously, after .NET 12 was added, discovery could use branch-HEAD configs while installation fell back to .NET 11 feeds, so installation was not pinned to the selected package versions. The fix shares manifest resolution and uses the working-directory NuGet.config. [9]
