I have find a solution that maybe is the best for now. If anyone has another, let me know!

  object aspNetCacheInternal = null;

  var cacheInternalPropInfo = typeof(HttpRuntime).GetProperty("CacheInternal", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static);
  if (cacheInternalPropInfo == null)
  {
    // At some point, after some .NET Framework's security update, that internal member disappeared.
    // https://stackoverflow.com/a/45045160
    // 
    // We need to look for internal cache otherwise.
    //
    var cacheInternalFieldInfo = HttpRuntime.Cache.GetType().GetField("_internalCache", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Static);

    if (cacheInternalFieldInfo != null)
    {
      var httpRuntimeInternalCache = cacheInternalFieldInfo.GetValue(HttpRuntime.Cache);
      var httpRuntimeInternalCacheField = httpRuntimeInternalCache.GetType().GetField("_cacheInternal", BindingFlags.NonPublic | BindingFlags.Instance);

      if (httpRuntimeInternalCacheField != null)
        aspNetCacheInternal = httpRuntimeInternalCacheField.GetValue(httpRuntimeInternalCache);
    }
  }
  else
  {
    aspNetCacheInternal = cacheInternalPropInfo.GetValue(null, null);
  }

  return aspNetCacheInternal;

Regards!
