How to fix?

Upgrade Microsoft.ChakraCore to version 1.4.2 or higher.

Overview

Microsoft.ChakraCore is the core part of the Chakra Javascript engine that powers Microsoft Edge.

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Remote Code Execution (RCE). A remote attacker could be able to execute arbitrary code in the context of the current user due to a flaw in capturing the name of a function expression in one of the param scope functions.
