CVE-2018-8171 is a security feature bypass vulnerability in ASP.NET, ASP.NET Core (versions 1.0, 1.1, 2.0), and ASP.NET MVC 5.2, stemming from a failure to validate the number of incorrect login attempts. This allows an attacker to bypass security measures. With a CVSS score of 7.5 (High), it is easily exploitable over the network with low attack complexity, potentially leading to high integrity impacts, though confidentiality and availability are not directly affected. Despite its high FAUCET Risk Score of 84/100 and community discussion, there is no evidence of active exploitation, no exploit code available in common databases like Metasploit or ExploitDB, and it is not listed in CISA's KEV catalog.
