Proposal for an Alternative to Moq Library

[KrystianLesniak]

Dear Flow Launcher Team,

I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to discuss a concern regarding the recent behavior of the Moq library, specifically starting from version 4.20. It has come to our attention that this library has exhibited behavior resembling that of malware, sending unauthorized emails from Git to cloud services. As Flow Launcher project currently utilizes version 4.18.4, which is considered safe, I recommend refraining from updating to the problematic versions.

In light of this situation, I would like to propose the exploration of alternative mocking libraries for Flow Launcher project. Given the critical role of mocking in testing and development processes, it is imperative to maintain a high level of security and reliability.

Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We will look to remove Moq from flow.

So what has happened w.r.t. Moq since then ?

Current version we are using is safe, we disabled auto-update on this dependency and will remove/replace it in the future.
