🛡️ CVE-2026-54780 — corewcf.primitives
Description
CoreWCF: WS-Security Reference DigestMethod Algorithm-Suite Bypass
Impact
CoreWCF’s WS-Security 1.0 receive pipeline validates the SignatureMethod of an incoming ds:SignedInfo against the configured SecurityAlgorithmSuite, but does not validate the DigestMethod declared on each ds:Reference. As a result, a sender can populate ds:SignedInfo with SignatureMethod values the suite accepts (for example rsa-sha256 under Basic256Sha256) while declaring a per-reference DigestMethod the suite rejects (for example http://www.w3.org/2000/09/xmldsig#sha1). The signature is then verified where it permits SHA-1 digests, and the message is accepted.
Patches
Fixed in CoreWCF v1.8.1 and v1.9.1
Workarounds
None
How this vulnerability can be exploited
This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is high, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity low, availability none.
