CVE-2026-54784 is a high-severity security vulnerability in CoreWCF.Primitives (nuget), affecting versions >= 1.9.0, < 1.9.1. It is fixed in 1.9.1.
Impact When the proof key recovered from the RSTR can be observed by a party that is not the legitimate client, that party can impersonate the authenticated Windows principal for the lifetime of the SCT (default ~10 hours) and decrypt or forge any subsequent WS‑SecureConversation traffic that uses keys derived from the SCT. Preconditions Using security mode TransportWithMessageCredential with client credential type Windows, along with session establishment (which triggers use of WS-SecureConversation). Patches Fixed in CoreWCF v1.9.1 Workarounds Ensure communication is protected by SSL/TLS to prevent capturing of SCT negotiation handshake.
CVE-2026-54784 has a CVSS score of 7.4 (High). The vector is network-reachable, no privileges required, and no user interaction. A CVSS score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether this affects your application depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable in your environment.
A fixed version is available (1.9.1). Upgrading removes the vulnerable code path.
nuget
CoreWCF.Primitives (>= 1.9.0, < 1.9.1)CoreWCF.Primitives → 1.9.1 (nuget)Severity tells you how bad this could be in the worst case. It does not tell you whether you are exposed. Exploitability and impact are functions of runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A vulnerable package can sit in your dependency tree and never run.
Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter instead of chasing every advisory.
Kodem's runtime-powered SCA identifies whether CVE-2026-54784 is reachable in your applications. Explore open-source security for your team.

CVE-2026-54784 is a high-severity security vulnerability in CoreWCF.Primitives (nuget), affecting versions >= 1.9.0, < 1.9.1. It is fixed in 1.9.1.
CVE-2026-54784 has a CVSS score of 7.4 (High). This score reflects the worst-case severity of the vulnerability, not your specific exposure. Whether it represents real risk in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable.
CoreWCF.Primitives (nuget) versions >= 1.9.0, < 1.9.1 is affected.
Yes. CVE-2026-54784 is fixed in 1.9.1. Upgrade to this version or later.
Whether CVE-2026-54784 is exploitable in your environment depends on whether the vulnerable code is present and reachable. A CVSS score is a worst-case rating; it does not account for your specific deployment, configuration, or usage patterns. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to show which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so you can focus on the ones that represent real risk.

Exploitability and impact are not fixed properties of a CVE. They depend on runtime truth: whether the vulnerable code is present, reachable, and actually executes in your application. A high CVSS score on a dependency that never runs is not the same as real risk. Kodem, an Intelligent Application Security platform, uses runtime intelligence to reveal which vulnerabilities actually execute in production, so teams prioritize the ones that genuinely matter.
Upgrade CoreWCF.Primitives to 1.9.1 or later.
