KB5059200: Overview with user sentiment and feedback

Overview

Microsoft has released an update for .NET 8.0 (KB5059200) on May 22, 2025. This update includes both security and non-security fixes, with specific attention to addressing CVE-2025-26646 that affects Microsoft.Build.Tasks.core.dll. The update brings .NET 8.0 to versions 8.0.313 and 8.0.410, updating from the previous versions 8.0.312 and 8.0.409 respectively.

General Purpose

The primary purpose of this update is to address a security vulnerability (CVE-2025-26646) that was missed in the previous May release. The update specifically targets the Microsoft.Build.Tasks.core.dll component. Importantly, this is an SDK-only change and does not affect the .NET 8.0.16 runtime. The update serves as a servicing release that will automatically remove previous 8.0 updates upon successful installation, ensuring system consistency and proper version management.

General Sentiment

The general sentiment towards this update appears positive as it addresses a specific security vulnerability without making changes to the runtime environment. The update is straightforward for most users, particularly those who only use the .NET 8 runtime, as no action is required from them. For developers using the .NET 8 SDK, the update process is clear and well-documented, though they will need to specifically obtain the re-release with the security fix.

Known Issues

• No significant known issues have been reported with this update
• The update only affects SDK components, not the runtime
• A system restart may be required if affected files are in use
