Description

I use the package Microsoft.JavaScript.UnitTest 1.5.10610.1 is a C# project (ASP.NET) to run typescript tests.

The build and Visual Studio warn me about a vulnerable NewtonSoft.Json package.

NU1903	Package 'Newtonsoft.Json' 12.0.2 has a known high severity vulnerability, https://github.com/advisories/GHSA-5crp-9r3c-p9vr	

As a workaround i installed Newtonsoft.Json 13.0.3 but I do my serialization using System.Text.Json.

So it would be nice to have a dependency update and a newly published package of Microsoft.JavaScript.UnitTest.
