Problem
Software composition analysis has identified a component with one or more known severe vulnerabilities. Available threat intelligence telemetry has confirmed that the reported high or critical severity vulnerabilities are actively being exploited by malicious actors.Prevalence in NuGet community

We strongly advise updating the component to the latest version.
If the update can't resolve the issue, create a plan to isolate or replace the affected component.

Problem
Uniform Resource Locators (URLs) are structured addresses that point to locations and assets on the internet. URLs allow software developers to build complex applications that exchange data with servers that can be hosted in multiple geographical regions. URLs can commonly be found embedded in documentation, configuration files, source code and compiled binaries. One or more embedded URLs were discovered to link to raw files hosted on GitHub. Attackers often abuse popular web services to host malicious payloads. Since code-sharing services URLs are typically allowed by security solutions, using them for payload delivery increases the odds that the malicious code will reach the user. While the presence of code-sharing service locations does not imply malicious intent, all of their uses in a software package should be documented and approved. An increasing number of software supply chain attacks in the open source space leverages the GitHub service to deliver malicious payloads.Prevalence in NuGet community

Investigate reported detections.
If the software should not include these network references, investigate your build and release environment for software supply chain compromise.
You should delay the software release until the investigation is completed, or until the issue is risk accepted.
Consider an alternative delivery mechanism for software packages.
Detected Windows executable files that embed PDB files whose integrity is verified with an insecure hashing algorithm.
Causes risk: outdated toolchains detected
hardening
Problem
Program database (PDB) files are typically only used during software development. They contain private debug symbols that make it significantly easier to reverse engineer a closed-source application. In some cases, having a program database file is equivalent to having access to the source code. Presence of program databases could indicate that one or more software components have been built using a debug profile, instead of the release.Prevalence in NuGet community

Next steps
Private debug database files should not be embedded within executables, and you should remove them from the software package before releasing it.
The integrity verification of the embedded database files should not be done with insecure hashing algorithms. SHA1 and MD5 hashes should be deprecated throughout the application, and a more secure SHA256 algorithm should be used instead.
Detected Linux executable files that might set writable and executable permissions to the code segment, making non-executable memory mitigations less effective.
Causes risk: ineffective mitigations detected
hardening
Problem
Presence of code relocations indicates that the code segment might temporarily, at one point, become both writable and executable. That violates security policies adopted by most modern Linux distributions. During the brief period in which the code segment is both writable and executable, the attacker may be able to overwrite the code with a malicious program.Prevalence in NuGet community

Next steps
Code relocations often appear due to inadequately written inline assembly, or when programs are not compiled with the appropriate position-independent code flag (e.g. -fPIC). In most cases, manual inspection may be required.
