.NET: Microsoft Technologies based on the .NET software framework. Runtime: An environment required to run apps that aren't compiled to machine language.
Thanks for reaching out There is no patch available for .NET Framework 4.8.1 Targeting Pack version 4.8.09037, and this is not a runtime vulnerability.
- The .NET Framework 4.8.1 Targeting Pack is only a developer component.
- Microsoft does not release security patches for targeting packs independently.
- Many security scanners incorrectly flag targeting packs because they check file versions without understanding component roles.
- Keep the targeting pack installed if development or build tools require it.
