GMS-2023-1893: Moq v4.20.0 and 4.20.1 share hashed user data

August 10, 2023 (updated August 29, 2023)

Moq v4.20.0 and 4.20.1 include support for SponsorLink, which runs an obfuscated DLL at build time that scans local git config data and shares the user’s hashed email address with SponsorLink’s remote servers. There is no option to disable this.

Moq v4.20.2 has removed this functionality.
