Summary
### Impact The core Akka module depended on an old System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager version 4.7.0 which transitively depends on System.Common.Drawing v4.7.0. The System.Common.Drawing v4.7.0 is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-ghhp-997w-qr28. The real-world impact of this should be low, but users should be advised to upgrade to later versions of Akka.NET. ### Patches _Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to?_ This issue is resolved in Akka.NET v1.4.46 and Akka.NET v1.5.0-alpha3. ### Workarounds _Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading?_ You might be able to explicitly reference System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager's NuGet package and upgrade to 6.0.1 or later without upgrading Akka.NET, but it's probably best to upgrade Akka.NET itself. ### References _Are there any links users can visit to find out more?_ Original issue: https://github.com/akkadotnet/akka.net/issues/6226 MSFT advisory: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-ghhp-997w-qr28 ### For more information If you have any questions or comments about this advisory: * Open an issue in [the Akka.NET repository](https://github.com/akkadotnet/akka.net/issues/new) * Contact us on [the Akka.NET Discord](https://discord.gg/GSCfPwhbWP)
