Out-of-Band Maintenance: .NET 10 Security Update

23 April 2026

Systems Affected: Windows Shared Hosting Servers, Managed Hyper-V Servers, and Managed Dedicated Servers

Due to the critical nature of this out-of-band .NET 10 update, we will be rolling out these changes immediately to all servers with .NET 10 installed.

Reason for Urgency
This update (v10.0.7) addresses a critical regression in the Data Protection library (CVE-2026-40372). The vulnerability could allow an attacker to bypass authentication by forging security tokens, potentially gaining System Administrator privileges.

Impact:
  • Immediate Deployment: Updates are being applied now to Shared, Managed Hyper-V, and Dedicated environments.
  • Server Reboots: Please note that some servers will require a reboot to complete the update, which may result in a brief period of service unavailability

We apologise for the short notice and appreciate your cooperation in keeping the network secure.

Update
This was completed by 06:30 BST
