– Prefer patching the vulnerable package or using Central Package Management to force a safe version.
The NuGetAuditSuppress property allows you to filter out specific vulnerability warnings during the restore phase. It acts as an "allow list" for specific known issues.
dotnet restore --verbosity detailed | grep "Audit" nugetauditsuppress
To check if suppression is active:
: For large solutions, define suppressions in a central Directory.Build.props file to maintain organization-wide control. – Prefer patching the vulnerable package or using
: Sometimes, generic advisories may flag projects incorrectly, especially as NuGetAuditMode defaults to "all" (including transitive dependencies) in newer frameworks like .NET 10. Strategic Best Practices
To suppress an advisory, you add a NuGetAuditSuppress item to your project file ( .csproj ) or a central configuration file like Directory.Build.props . The Include attribute must be set to the you wish to ignore. dotnet restore --verbosity detailed | grep "Audit" To
Starting with .NET 8 SDK, the dotnet restore command automatically checks your transitive dependencies against a centralized database of known vulnerabilities (provided by the GitHub Advisory Database).
