Upgrade DotNetNuke.Core to this version or later

Description

DNN (aka DotNetNuke) 9.2 through 9.2.1 uses a weak encryption algorithm to protect input parameters.

How to fix

Move to the fixed version or later with your package manager, update the lockfile, and run your tests. If the package only arrives through another dependency, upgrade that dependency first. If none of its releases pulls a fixed version yet, force the version with your package manager's override.

DotNetNuke.Core NuGet → 9.2.2

dotnet add package DotNetNuke.Core --version 9.2.2

Weakness

CWE-326: Inadequate Encryption Strength

The product stores or transmits sensitive data using an encryption scheme that is theoretically sound, but is not strong enough for the level of protection required.

How to prevent it
  • Architecture and Design: Use an encryption scheme that is currently considered to be strong by experts in the field.
