How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2025-55247, inspect your project dependencies for Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core:
inspect dependencies for Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 18.0.0-preview-25476-107), your application is affected.
Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-59: Improper Link Resolution Before File Access ('Link Following'), where the product attempts to access a file based on the filename, but it does not properly prevent that filename from identifying a link or shortcut that resolves to an unintended resource. In Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing. Review the official source advisory statement below for specific affected components, classes, and reproduction details.
