The Vulnerability can be tracked as CVE-2021-24112 that is affected by the.NET 5.0, .NET Core 3.1, and .NET Core 2.1 also note that Windows PowerShell 5.1 isn’t affected by this issue.

According to a Microsoft report “The vulnerable package is System.Text.Encodings.Web . Upgrading your package and redeploying your app should be sufficient to address this vulnerability.”

Any following .NET 5, .NET Core, or .NET Framework-based application that uses the System.Text.Encodings.Web package with a vulnerable version.
