The remote Windows host has an installation of .NET Core with a version of 2.1.x. Therefore, the host is affected by a tampering vulnerability which exists when .NET Core improperly handles specially crafted files. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could write arbitrary files and directories to certain limited locations on a vulnerable system.
