CVE NOT AVAILABLE CWE-438  (opens in a new tab)
First added by Snyk

How to fix?

Upgrade Moq to version 4.20.2 or higher.

Overview

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Undesired Behavior. It contains a dependency on the SponsorLink package, which runs an obfuscated closed-source executable at buildtime.

That executable spawns OS processes and performs network requests, including transferring a derivative of personally identifying information (a hash of the email address of the developer from 'git config' output) to remote servers.

NOTE: This change in behavior is in development and this advisory will be updated as new information is available.
