Please can this task be updated to use the latest version of 7Zip 24.09?

We are using the File Transform V2 task in our DevOps pipelines, this uses an old version of 7Zip - 23.01 which contains security vulnerabilities and so is being blocked by Windows Defender.

The vulnerabilities include:

This is similar to the previous issue BUG: Azure App Service Deploy task using the older version of 7zip, required to be use 18.0.0.0 or higher #19136

Looking at our agents directory some other tasks we use also contain old versions of 7Zip, which may also need updating.
