Thanks. Also please consider dependencies such as SkiaSharp that has been affected by the same or similar vulnerability.

For Aspose.Cells, please see/follow up the thread for your reference.

Updating SkiaSharp will work for .Net Core version but what about .Net Framework version? How to fix that?

@WolfVasa,

Aspose.Cells does not use SkiaSharp for common .NET framework versions. Instead, it uses System.Drawing.Common for rendering graphics.

Oh yes sorry I just read that in the doco. Cheers!

Can I get the update for Aspose.Words as SkiaSharp is also part of aspose.words. We want the skiasharp 2.88.6 version for Aspose.Words package.

@faryal.tanveer We already updated SkiaSharp version in the current codebase and the next 23.11 version of Aspose.Words will use the fixed version. We will be sure to let you know once it is released.
