Hi,

Thanks for reporting, we also upgraded it today, CL 44305997 ([https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/a967190c4caee9dedc834d89f3c322cc356d6f30\](https://github.com/EpicGames/UnrealEngine/commit/a967190c4caee9dedc834d89f3c322cc356d6f30%5C)) on UE5/Main and it was merged to UE 5.6 at CL 44311406. You can probably keep your fix as it looks like the one we did.

Regards,

Patrick

Do you know or can you say when 5.6.1 will be released?

(I integrated your fix to have the same as you have)

The 5.6.1 is scheduled to be out somewhere in middle of August 2025. Sometime the date shifts, but that’s what I know today.

How do I bump up the version of this dependency?

Updating the affected components to 14.8.1 (inside NuGet package manager of VS Studio) fixed it for me. Much appreciated.

Above worked for us until now. We get the same issue with 14.8.1  
`error NU1902: Warning As Error: Package 'Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-AnyCPU' 14.8.1 has a known moderate severity vulnerability, https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-9pp9-cfwx-54rm `  
`[…\Engine\Saved\CsTools\Engine\Source\Programs\AutomationTool\Android\Android.Automation.csproj]`

edit: I bumped the version to 14.9.1 and it works again

Is this not merged into 5.6.1? I still get the old 14.7.0 version during a clean git clone and build for UE5.6.1

Same for me; i.e., a few months ago, I built 5.6.1 from source, and that release is still referencing `Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-AnyCPU` version 14.7.0.

I solved the issue by disabling the warnings inside the `PackageReference` tags in `AutomationTool.csproj`, `AutomationUtils.Automation.csproj`, and `Gauntlet.Automation.csproj`; i.e., respectively, I used:

```auto
<PackageReference Include="Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-AnyCPU" Version="14.7.0">
  <NoWarn>$(NoWarn);NU1901;NU1902;NU1903</NoWarn>
</PackageReference>

```

```auto
<PackageReference Include="Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-AnyCPU" Version="14.7.0" PrivateAssets="all">
  <NoWarn>$(NoWarn);NU1901;NU1902;NU1903</NoWarn>
</PackageReference>

```

and

```auto
<PackageReference Include="Magick.NET-Q16-HDRI-AnyCPU" Version="14.7.0" PrivateAssets="all">
  <NoWarn>$(NoWarn);NU1901;NU1902;NU1903</NoWarn>
</PackageReference>

```

Obviously, that’s not ideal because we are now only ignoring the vulnerability, but it does the trick if the goal is to continue using that package version.
