As published by the source; long descriptions are shortened.

Impact The core Akka module depended on an old System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager version 4.7.0 which transitively depends on System.Common.Drawing v4.7.0. The System.Common.Drawing v4.7.0 is affected by a remote code execution vulnerability https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-ghhp-997w-qr28. The real-world impact of this should be low, but users should be advised to upgrade to later versions of Akka.NET. Patches Has the problem been patched? What versions should users upgrade to? This issue is resolved in Akka.NET v1.4.46 and Akka.NET v1.5.0-alpha3. Workarounds Is there a way for users to fix or remediate the vulnerability without upgrading? You might be able to explicitly reference System.Configuration.ConfigurationManager's NuGet package and upgrade to 6.0.1 or later without upgrading Akka.NET, but it's probably best to upgrade Akka.NET itself. References Are there any links users can visit to find out more? Original issue: https://github.com/akkadotnet/akka.net/issues/6226…

# Patch Next advisory brief: GHSA-gpv5-rp6w-58r8

Advisory: Remote code execution vulnerability in dependency System.Drawing.Common
IDs: GHSA-gpv5-rp6w-58r8
Record: https://patchnext.com/advisories/ghsa-gpv5-rp6w-58r8 (revision 1, source checked 26 Oct 2026, 16:58 UTC)
Inventory: none attached. This brief comes from a public page and does not say whether any deployment is affected.
Severity: Unrated
Exploitation: no confirmed exploitation recorded. Patch Next confirms exploitation only from CISA KEV.
Vendor response: Vendor fix available; fixed versions by package: akka 1.5.0-alpha3, 1.4.46. A vendor fix does not mean a deployment is fixed.

## Affected components
- NuGet akka: affected < 1.4.46; >= 1.5.0-alpha1, < 1.5.0-alpha3; fixed in 1.4.46, 1.5.0-alpha3

## Suggested inspection (read-only)
- NuGet akka: check the installed version with your package manager.

## Supported action
Upgrade each affected component to a fixed version on its release line. For a transitive dependency, upgrade the parent package or add an override or constraint, then regenerate the lockfile. Redeploy every environment that ran an affected version.

## Required regression checks
- Run the test suite and a production build.
- Exercise the features that depend on akka.
- Repeat the inspection and confirm that only fixed versions remain installed.

## Rollback considerations
- Keep the previous lockfile and deployment artifact. Rolling back reinstates the vulnerable version, so apply any documented mitigation while you fix forward.

## Unresolved questions
- Which deployments run an affected version?
- Exploitation status can change. Check again before lowering the priority.
- Mark the work resolved only after the fixed version is verified in production.

## Sources
- Verified: https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-gpv5-rp6w-58r8 (GitHub-reviewed advisory GHSA-gpv5-rp6w-58r8 lists affected ranges: NuGet akka >=0 =1.5.0-alpha1 <1.5.0-alpha3)
