Note that this affects ".net core", not ".net framework" https://msrc.microsoft.com/update-guide/vulnerability/CVE-20...

There is no .NET Core or .NET Framework since .NET 5.0 in 2020. Maybe you mean ASP.NET Core, but then there is no ASP.NET Framework so the comment still does not make sense to me.

The vulnerable component is ASP.NET Core, which did not change name when .NET dropped the Core name to distinguish it from legacy ASP.NET.

If somehow you were still using legacy ASP.NET / Framework 4.8 etc, you have much bigger problems - legacy ASP.NET has been unsupported since 2022 so will definitely not be receiving security updates.

The last sentence is not correct. ASP.NET is part of .NET Framework which is still supported by nature of being included with Windows, and follows its support lifecycle. https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/platform/support/policy/a...

This is, IMO, a bad thing, and Microsoft needs to break this chain at some point, at least for ASP.NET. But, it is still technically supported.
