Summary

Powershell 7.2.5 has shipped with Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.1, but the note in the document said "PowerShell 7 currently ships with Newtonsoft.Json 12.0.3".

Details

The bump to v13.0.1 is mandatory for all applications using Newtonsoft.Json due to the security vulnerability present in older versions of Newtonsoft.Json, see GHSA-5crp-9r3c-p9vr. The latest version of PowerShell, v7.2.5, uses Newtonsoft.Json v13.0.1, see PowerShell/PowerShell#15084.

Suggested Fix

Suggest add note on Newtonsoft.Json version for respective powershell version.

The purpose of this article is to talk about resolving version conflicts, not to document a specific version of Newtonsoft.Json. However, we could make that point clearer in this note.
