# Nuget

### How to replace a Nuget package

1\. Open your project's `.csproj` file.

2\. If the vulnerability is in a direct dependency, replace the existing version in the `<PackageReference>` element (the following example is `Newtonsoft.Json@12.02`):

```xml
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="12.0.2-sp1" />
  </ItemGroup>
```

3\. If the vulnerability is in a transitive dependency, add an explicit `<PackageReference>` to pin it to the sealed version:

```xml
  <ItemGroup>
    <PackageReference Include="Newtonsoft.Json" Version="12.0.2-sp1" />
  </ItemGroup>
```

{% hint style="warning" %}
The dotnet tool might generate a false warning that the sealed version is vulnerable.

It is safe to ignore this warning.
