[martinbryant]

Package 'Newtonsoft.Json' 12.0.2 has a known high severity vulnerability, GHSA-5crp-9r3c-p9vr

Package 'System.Security.Cryptography.Pkcs' 6.0.1 has a known high severity vulnerability, GHSA-555c-2p6r-68mm

It looks like Giraffe needs updating to 6.x to be able to get Newtonsoft 13.x

will there be an update to this? Mend scanner is also recognizing this.

I'm not sure how this is a Fable.Remoting concern. There is nothing preventing you from bumping Giraffe as far as I can see. And for that matter, Giraffe 5 doesn't restrict you to Newtonsoft.Json 12 either.

[RicoSaupe]

In my case its not about giraffe. its about fable remoting using the "older" Newtonsoft library and the request to bump this up to the latest version

[kerams]

Sorry, but the argument still stands. You can use 13 if you want - Remoting does not hold you back.

[RicoSaupe]

Yes. I understand that i can use a higher version. Just wondering about the reason of the 12.x version. Is it for compatibility?
