Inspectopedia 2025.2 Help

Retracted dependency version

Reports retracted dependency versions.

Users must avoid using retracted versions as they might contain a vulnerability, a significant bug, or other issues that might be harmful. The retraction reason is described in the provided retraction notice.

To solve a problem, update the dependency to the most recent version that has not been retracted. Note that retraction does not prevent you from using the retracted versions.

Available quick-fixes may suggest updating to the latest version or reading the retraction notice.
