Upgrade NuGet.CommandLine to 4.9.5
Upgrade NuGet.CommandLine.XPlat to 4.9.5
Upgrade NuGet.Commands to 5.2.1
Upgrade NuGet.Commands to 5.7.2
Upgrade NuGet.Commands to 5.9.2
Upgrade NuGet.Commands to 5.11.2
Upgrade NuGet.Commands to 6.0.2
Upgrade NuGet.Commands to 6.2.1
Upgrade NuGet.CommandLine to 5.2.1
Upgrade NuGet.CommandLine to 5.7.2
Upgrade NuGet.CommandLine to 5.9.2
Upgrade NuGet.CommandLine to 5.11.2
Upgrade NuGet.CommandLine to 6.0.2
Upgrade NuGet.CommandLine to 6.2.1
Upgrade NuGet.CommandLine.XPlat to 5.2.1
Upgrade NuGet.CommandLine.XPlat to 5.7.2
Upgrade NuGet.CommandLine.XPlat to 5.9.2
Upgrade NuGet.CommandLine.XPlat to 5.11.2
Upgrade NuGet.CommandLine.XPlat to 6.0.2

Run the following command in your project directory to verify that all resolved dependencies use the patched release:
inspect dependencies for NuGet.Commands
How to Check if You Are Affected
To determine whether your application is affected by CVE-2022-30184, inspect your project dependencies for NuGet.Commands:
inspect dependencies for NuGet.Commands
Analyze the terminal output to locate any version of NuGet.Commands in your dependency tree. If any resolved version matches the vulnerable ranges listed in the table below (for example, versions earlier than 4.9.5), your application is affected.
Note: Verify declared build manifests and deployed runtime container environments.
Technical Details
Vulnerability Mechanism & Technical Analysis
This vulnerability is classified under CWE-200: Exposure of Sensitive Information to an Unauthorized Actor, where the product exposes sensitive information to an actor that is not explicitly authorized to have access to that information. In NuGet.Commands, software state validation or input boundaries are circumvented during processing.
