Summary

The top ten libraries with high severity vulnerabilities include system.net.http, which has a large number of lifetime downloads but is vulnerable to multiple high-severity vulnerabilities, and Microsoft.AspNetCore.Server.Kestrel.Core, which has four known vulnerabilities including two denial-of-service vulnerabilities. The most recent version of system.net.http has no known vulnerabilities, while the library system.io.pipelines only has one known vulnerability, a denial-of-service vulnerability that can crash a website. These libraries are widely used in .NET projects and can have significant security implications if not properly updated or maintained. Snyk recommends updating to the latest versions of these libraries to mitigate potential security risks.
