CoreWCF: Unix Domain Socket PosixIdentity transport accepts connections that skip the security upgrade

Published Jul 8, 2026 · Updated Jul 9, 2026 · Assigned by GitHub_M

Description

CoreWCF is a port of the service side of Windows Communication Foundation (WCF) to .NET Core. Prior to 1.8.1 and 1.9.1, a CoreWCF service hosted on Unix Domain Sockets with PosixIdentity client credentials can accept connections that skip the application/unixposix stream upgrade before dispatching messages, bypassing framing-layer identity checks in UnixPosixIdentitySecurityUpgradeProvider. This issue is fixed in versions 1.8.1 and 1.9.1.
