Executive summary Microsoft is releasing this security advisory to provide information about a vulnerability in Aspire. This advisory provides guidance on updating affected applications and components. Aspire Dashboard's unauthenticated NotFound route can permit telemetry deletion in both standalone and AppHost-hosted deployments.

## Steps
1. Search every lockfile and manifest (package-lock.json, yarn.lock, pnpm-lock.yaml, requirements*.txt, poetry.lock, uv.lock, composer.lock, go.sum, Cargo.lock, Gemfile.lock) for `Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.linux-x64`, `Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.linux-arm64`, `Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.linux-musl-x64`, `Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.osx-x64`, `Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.osx-arm64`, `Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.win-x64`, `Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.win-arm64`. For each hit, compare the installed version with the fix on the same major line: Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.linux-x64 13.6.5, Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.linux-arm64 13.6.5, Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.linux-musl-x64 13.6.5, Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.osx-x64 13.6.5, Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.osx-arm64 13.6.5, Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.win-x64 13.6.5, Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.win-arm64 13.6.5, Aspire Dashboard 13.6.5. If it's lower, give the exact upgrade command for the package manager this repo uses.
2. Fix by release line: Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.linux-x64: older than 13.6.5 → 13.6.5; 13.6.x → 13.6.5. Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.linux-arm64: older than 13.6.5 → 13.6.5. Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.linux-musl-x64: older than 13.6.5 → 13.6.5. Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.osx-x64: older than 13.6.5 → 13.6.5. Aspire.Dashboard.Sdk.osx-arm64: older than 13.6.5 → 13.6.5.
