Three years ago I blogged about #nuget serving outdated #curl packages.
They then removed the packages I found.
I checked nuget again *today* and immediately found a nine year old curl package that is downloaded at the rate of 1,000 times/week from there... with **64** known vulnerabilities.

@bagder Have you considered if there's a demand for vintage curl releases that you aren't serving? Give the people what they want!

@Tenzer I linked the security people to this relevant page: https://curl.se/docs/vuln-7.51.0.html

@bagder I've using dotnet for a few years and wanted to try using Curl but didn't find anything that wasn't poorly maintained or totally outdated.

@bagder
Have you considered reserving "Curl" prefix on NuGet?

It is not much but it would prevent random people from uploading "officially looking" packages. -

My not at all surprised face: "After careful investigation, this case has been assessed as not a vulnerability and does not meet Microsoft's bar for immediate servicing."

@bagder our own IT team are running Office 2016 in a sensitive environment.

@bagder amazed you even got a reply that fast; it took me 6 months for them to acknowledge and patch a local root privilege escalation in Defender for Linux (https://astr.al/notes/2024-11-28_mdatp-privesc/)
