Consider upgrading vulnerable `Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core` dependency

[nil4]

Usage Information

Nuke 9.0.4 / .NET SDK 9.0.300 / .NET 9

Description

The last Nuke release (9.0.4) depends on Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core 17.12.6:

https://github.com/nuke-build/nuke/blob/da2ea1fecf4896fbd68f3c1884ea704e64b0412f/Directory.Packages.props#L67

A security advisory has recently been published about this version: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-h4j7-5rxr-p4wc

This results in NuGet audit warnings or errors for projects using Nuke, e.g.

NU1901: Warning As Error: Package 'Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core' 17.12.6 has a known low severity vulnerability, https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-h4j7-5rxr-p4wc

Consider upgrading the vulnerable dependency, so that upcoming Nuke versions don't require workarounds for NuGet security audits.

Reproduction Steps

Create a .NET project and add a package reference to Nuke.Common version 9.0.4.

Configure the project to run NuGet security vulnerability audits on all (direct + transitive) dependencies, and all severity levels, by adding the following to the .csproj:

<NugetAudit>true</NugetAudit>
<NugetAuditMode>all</NugetAuditMode>
<NugetAuditLevel>low</NugetAuditLevel>

Build the project and observe any NuGet audit warnings.

Expected Behavior

No NuGet audit warnings or errors are introduced.

Actual Behavior

NuGet audit warnings or errors are present, e.g.:

warning NU1901: Package 'Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core' 17.12.6 has a known low severity vulnerability, https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-h4j7-5rxr-p4wc

The vulnerable dependency is introduced via Nuke.ProjectModel:

> dotnet nuget why Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core
Project 'ReproBuild' has the following dependency graph(s) for 'Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core':
  [net9.0]
   │
   └─ Nuke.Common (v9.0.4)
      ├─ Nuke.Build (v9.0.4)
      │  └─ Nuke.ProjectModel (v9.0.4)
      │     └─ Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core (v17.12.6)
      └─ Nuke.ProjectModel (v9.0.4)
         └─ Microsoft.Build.Tasks.Core (v17.12.6)
