During pen testing of web application using the NetSparker Tool. The System.Text.RegularExpressions of version of 4.3.0 was having security vulnerability. The solution is to update the nuget package to 4.3.1 version.

The project is indirectly dependent on the System.Text.RegularExpressions package. That the project is using the Microsoft.Data.SqlClient of version 2.1.0. Even if I upgrade this to 2.1.3, this package is not upgrading its child package System.Text.RegularExpressions to 4.3.1. By default the acceptable nuget package version of System.Text.RegularExpressions for Microsoft.Data.SqlClient is >=4.3.0.

Need help on how to upgrade only the child nuget package System.Text.RegularExpressions to version 4.3.1 enter image description here

Since I had too many references in the child project. I did a direct reference in the parent project, System.Text.RegularExpressions & Microsoft.Data.SqlClient pointing to the secure version of the nuget package.

After, this all the child project which was referencing insecure version of System.Text.RegularExpressions & Microsoft.Data.SqlClient, started to take the version mentioned on the parent project.
