Nuget vulnerability on UE 5.6.1 on fresh installation
Engine Version 5.6.1. VS 2022 version latest 17.14.34, same with VS 2026
The problem suddenly appeared with updating some plugin via FAB, that required a c++ compilation (deleting intermediate/saved/binaries/.vs folder in project). I spare you
the iterations and details about that and made a clean c++ test project to exclude any local - project bound configuration details, where i still cant compile successfull:
- fresh installation of Engine and VS, a fresh c++ blank project
- in VS warning for NuGet vulnerability packages, that lead to failed compilation

see excerpt log on picture… and output log: AutomationUtils.Automation.csproj has an error NU1902 as Magick.Net-Q16-HDRI-AnyCPU Version 14.7.0 )
and for Microsoft.build 17.11.4
Note: considering the problems 5.6.1 version had a year ago: now that is the version which was suggested in all fixes here in the forum and does not work.
Now, updating Magick.Net-Q16-HDRI-AnyCPU to 14.13.1 and Microsoft.build to 17.11.48 : is failing in one point:
