Remote code execution via exposed ObjRef URI
Published Mar 22, 2024 · Updated Oct 21, 2025
Information disclosure in Microsoft .NET Framework allows remote attackers to obtain an ObjRef URI through HTTP .NET Remoting. The HTTP Remoting metadata handler processes a crafted request and returns a serialized ObjRef containing the object's unique URI and channel data. An exposed HTTP Remoting service is required; the leaked URI enables unauthenticated payload delivery to the remote object and remote code execution.
